Interesting. Have there been any performance comparisons vs GHC et al? Chad Scherrer Computational Mathematics Group Pacific Northwest National Laboratory "Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana." -- Groucho Marx

Hi

...

My knowledge of Clean is fairly limited Mine too, but one of the biggest differences is that Clean has uniqueness types instead of Monads.

They are in fact so similar that you can convert between them, using Hacle: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~mfn/hacle/

I believe also that Clean has a lot more facilities for strictness annotations, which may help with the speed.

Thanks
