Hello, it's me again and I have a new mad idea. There are a lot of programming contests out there and unfortunately most (all?) of them do not allow Haskell code till now! I think, this is hard to accept. Why not ask the people which run acm.uva.es/problemset to provide their problem sets, input and output files and the basic judging software and install it at haskell.org? Alternatively this may be a nice project for a student. I think an adaption of this software to permit Haskell code can not be that difficult! Do you think there is a need for such a project? Maybe it could help Haskell to become a part of official programming contests and hence to gain more popularity. I'm sorry to say, that due to another project my free time is very limited so I can not get it going by only myself. Ciao, Steffen -- Haskell: that's where I just curry until fail, unwords any error, drop all undefined, maybe break, otherwise in sequence span isControl and take max $, id: (d:[])
