Knowing about something /= knowing how to use it. I own and have read RWH, but I've never had to use hsc2hs, or Applicative, etc.
Writing libraries that bind to C is a great way to have to use a lot of hsc2hs (or c2hs), so clearly you need to contribute more libraries :-)
dons was replying to *Ivan Miljenovic* here (with a smiley to remove all doubt), he was teasing [is that the entirely correct word?] Ivan a bit.
Teasing works (as the teased, I'll accept it anyway :p). As for what Don was teasing me about: lemme first finish writing all these base generic graph libraries, then I'll see about writing bindings to external C libraries for graphs, etc.!
But in this case, the OP didn't even know *about* the something.
That, however, is indeed an indicator (not infallible of course). After a few years of Haskell coding, it's very unlikely that you've never heard of those tools.
Especially if you're active in the community, etc. I mean, it's still possible to not know about hsc2hs, but it gets bandied about every now and again. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
