Besides, why in the world do Haskell libraries have to involve C? I've written and released several libraries on Hackage, none of which are in any way related to C. Not every library is just a C binding, you know...
Mainly because they're complex and already exist (and are often heavily optimized already); consider gtk2hs for the former and BLAS/LAPACK for the latter. You *really, really* don't want to have to reimplement any of those as pure Haskell, trust me on this :) - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwvBu4ACgkQIn7hlCsL25UYmgCcCBXIk7MY51onQ8H/jPdSE9Hg BgsAmwZFRt8ryjI+jk5K4KrzCfhSRQZn =vdia -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
