do you have any plans to provide an interface for inplace updates? Yes, I will try to write a simple version of Data.Array.ST...
I can try to help you, although I still dont quite grok monads. Wouldn't it be more efficient to use StorableArray, so you can cast from and to C? I am not sure how vectors and matrixes are represented in C, but I imagine it should be possible to manipulate them without resorting to copying between haskell and C.
That's right, the correspondence with StorableArray is direct, and efficient conversion can be easily added to the library. I mentioned the idea of Data.Array.ST to have also the possibility of writing pure code, without IO, internally implemented with inplace updates. Alberto
