I've uploaded my CMonad package to Hackage. It allows you to write Haskell code in a C style.

Now I've heard that Haskell makes a fine (if not the finest) imperative language, but isn't this taking that thought a bit too far ;)

Unfortunately, GHC lacks certain optimizations to make efficient code when using CMonad, so instead of C speed you get low speed.

I mean as a proof-of-concept this is cool, but if your primary concern is performance then I think you're barking up the wrong tree with this. Cheers! Marcin Kosiba
