Ok, so if understood the bottom line of the answers I got from Vanessa and Hiromi the take away seems to be: if you're prototyping then stick to the lazy version of sum, otherwise use more advanced data structures (Vectors or Folds).
I can't say I understand that bottom line. A strict sum seems like a very obvious thing to want to feature very prominently in whatever set of utilities you choose to base your system on.
Any idea why Prelude does not ship a sum' version? (i.e. a strict version of sum) _______________________________________________
