For some reason, the York ftp links never work for me, so here are the links for the Binary data papers (practically all of their webpages only point to "ftp://" for papers): Heap Compression and Binary I/O in Haskell Malcolm Wallace and Colin Runciman http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/ftpdir/pub/malcolm/hw97.html The Bits Between The Lambdas: Binary Data in a Lazy Functional Language Malcolm Wallace and Colin Runciman http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/ftpdir/pub/malcolm/ismm98.html Chris Milton --- Mark Carroll wrote:

thanks for your advice, I guess it sweetens the situation, though I really would like to know how to store in a binary format.

might be interesting for you. Actually, "deriving binary" would be a nice thing to have in general - even more, a way to add your own "deriving" things from within Haskell, although I have no idea how such a thing would work.

seems to be a bit broken at the moment so I don't know if that relates to any proposed extensions. Are there any pages that summarise what people have learned from trying out already-implemented extensions, to help get an idea what the next Haskell will be like, or what ideas to try next? For instance, I expect to see some concurrency and exceptions, multi-parameter type classes, etc. make it through.
