what's the difference between the vector [1] and uvector [2] packages? should one of those preferred over the other?
thanks, <sk>
[1] http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/vector-0.1 [2] http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/uvector-0.1.0.1
To make things even more confusing, there is also: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/storablevector http://code.haskell.org/storablevector/ This library was mentioned in Haskell-Cafe in December of 2007 on Haskell-Cafe and I started to use and extend it by a lazy chunky structure, an ST interface for in-place update, and an experimental element-wise lazy but efficient data structure. Now I become aware that there are parallel efforts. I'm also uncertain where to invest more time.
