G'day all.
hey,
Quoting oleg@pobox.com:
Recently Vo Minh Thu wondered if Haskell (or, I generalize, functional programming) can be of much use for computer graphics programming.
As others have pointed out, it's Haskell (and its laziness) that he perceived to be the problem.
However, I'd like to take the discussion up one more level.
actually, i think my problem was at that upper level.
I hope that Thu doesn't mind me saying this, but off-list, I got a better idea of the program that he was trying to write. He's not interested writing an image processing system. In that sense, raster images are actually not a central data structure.
no probs at all. [snip remaining] thank you for sharing that ! vo minh thu
