Re: [Haskell-cafe] Specify array or list size?

Anyway. There is a difference, and I think the names reflect that pretty well.

I'm glad you think that. Sadly, not everyone else does. My take is: sure I can accept that there's a difference once I'm told that there is, but this wasn't evident atll to /me/ from the names. I must also confess that after hearing your explanation I still don't understand the linguistic distinction. I don't see a natural reason why arrays should be slots and lists should be the contents of the slots. And I don't see how that relates to Haskell's distinction. Cheers, Daniel.
