First of all, /learning/ to optimize Haskell can be difficult. The optimizing itself is actually fairly easy in my experience, once you understand how the language works.
Given the fact that you have obviously mastered the learning part of this, do you have any recommendations on what to read or on how to proceed in order to learn how to optimize Haskell code? I can imagine, it's not only about understanding the language itself, but also about understanding how your compiler and its switches work, being able to find the hot spots in your code, being able to measure the effects of your changes, developing a good sense for the tradeoffs, etc. So far, I have only stumpled upon chapter 25 of Real World Haskell. Anything else you might recommend? regards Alex
