[Haskell-cafe] If you haven't bought any of Knuth's fascicles yet, this is definitely the one to get. Bitwise Tricks & Techniques

If you haven't bought any of Knuth's fascicles yet, this is definitely the one to get. "The Art of Computer Programming: Volume 4 Bitwise Tricks & Techniques Binary Decision Diagrams" Fascicle 1 Donald E. Knuth 2009 Describes basic "broadword" operations and an important class of data structures that can make computer programs run dozens - even thousands - of times faster. I started a Haskell program using bitwise operations and then discarded them thinking them to low level. I think one of the dangers of Haskell, is that I get carried away with medium and high level abstractions and think "everything" MUST be done that way. :) -- Regards, Casey
