OTOH, everybody uses ByteString rather than UArray Word8. (And, in fact, ByteString *exists* even though UArray Word8 was there first.) So one presumes it's because ByteString has some kind of magic that makes it faster than a UArray...
as i already said, it's due to algorithms implemented. when one need UArray operations, it use it. when one need string operations, he use ByteStrings. the rest is marketing hype ands i bet that UArray advertising company was ~15 years ago :) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
