Re: [Haskell-cafe] Shouldnt this be lazy too?

Hi all,

I was surprised to find out that the following piece of code:

...

length [1..] > 10

isnt lazily evaluated! I wouldnt expect this to be a bug, but in this case, shouldnt the computation end when the length function evaluation goes something like:

...

10 + length [11..]

?

In an ideal world, yes. In this world, use "length (take 11 [1..]) > 10"...
