It might be an immense project, but I also think it would be interesting. I wonder if Haskell would be much faster after being restructured around arrows. If an arrow-based version of Haskell existed, I'd love to try it.
I think it's entirely possible that it would have significant benefits in speed, elegance, and structural simplicity. -- Shae Matijs Erisson - Programmer
Hi Shae! Thanks for your comments, and i agree totally! It would indeed be very interesting, and I tend to agree too that speed might be helped if this were done. ( and yes - I'd love to try an arrow-based Haskell too! ). While I was mulling this over this morning, I was thinking how (or even "if" ) an EBNF grammar (Haskell's in this case) could be represented in terms or arrows. I stopped pretty quickly as it made my head hurt just thinking about it ... :-)) - Andy
