Re: [Haskell-cafe] Destructive updates to plain ADTs

Milan Straka writes:

is there any way to perform a destructive update on a plain ADT?

Hi Milan, perhaps this is a dumb question, but given that you're using a lazy functional language: why do you want to do destructive updates at all? Perhaps you'd be better off using an imperative/object-oriented language? If you're trying to create a static data structure, perhaps the credit card transform is the approach to use?

... I would like just to run some benchmarks and see the results.

Running benchmarks for destructive updates in Haskell seems a waste of time(?) AntC
