Re: [Haskell-cafe] fundata1 -- Karmic Social Capital Benchmark and Shootout

dmehrtash:

In the lessons you say:

Haskell proved too slow with String Map, so we ended up interning strings and working with an IntMap and a dictionary to disintern back to strings as a last step. Daniel Fisher was instrumental in bringing Haskell up to speed with OCaml and then beating it. Don Stewart provided awesome leadership and amazing modification of Haskell's core data structured before your very eyes.

Can you elaborate on this?

and What do you mean by: "modification of Haskell's core data structured " ?

I think he means some of the stuff Daniel and I did with specializing data structures (like IntMap) to their monomorphic key / elem types. -- Don
