In fact avoiding space leaks was one of the motivations for our moving to an arrow framework for FRP (now called Yampa). Arrows amount to a point-free coding style, although with "arrow syntax" the cumbersomeness of programming in that style is largely alleviated. -Paul jeff p wrote:
Hello,
The (almost) point-free versions run faster than my "fast" imperative version and take up significantly less heap space-- even the version which reads everything and then writes takes up about 1/3 the heap space as my version.
I get the impression that point-free style is a preventive measure against space leaks.
thanks again, Jeff
