Isn't binary IO solved using ByteString and Binary packages - is there a need to put them into the Haskell report?
I would add that by providing the FFI, Haskell 2010 makes the ByteString and binary packages possible and therefore it does support binary IO, albeit the process is greatly simplified by usage of these higher-level libraries. Michael
Haskell supports binary IO via openBinaryFile, hGetBuf, and hPutBuf .
Advanced types like ByteString or Binary are not part of Haskell 2010,
I assume because they're too complex to be part of the language
standard.

That's not really the language report's job. You're looking for the Haskell Platform. - -- 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/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0EF9gACgkQIn7hlCsL25WT5QCgpeYsVUJA2SGDbob1pixivJMF 39kAn1hxwZjQloLNheCLlcSz1p9db0RK =gwKV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
