-- Yi
that's the error message I got following the instructions on [1]http://www.nobugs.org/developer/yi/building.html
setup: At least the following dependencies are missing: fingertree -any make: *** [dist/setup-config] Error 1
Where can I get fingertree from? Do I need a specific version of this package?
-- Data.ByteString
Where can I read more about GHC options like -XOverloadedStrings or this ":: ByteString" type declaration?
I did not know ByteString was less performant than a linked list of characters. It is used even in the language shootout benchmark programs.
It's not "always slower" or "always faster". There's some particular operations where short [Char] is going to be faster than a pinned array. -- Don
