Re: [Haskell-cafe] maybe a goal and challenge for the Haskell in terms of scientific computing

FWIW, I always thought that Haskell, and in particular, ghci, would be a great environment for statistics. I've used R a bit, and while it has a functional flavor to it, I find Haskell much nicer for programming. We just need a nice data frame type: a sliceable, labelable¹ multi-dimensional array. (Of course, the real value in such a package is in the extent of libraries.) -k ¹) Please accept my apologies if you are native English speaker. -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
