Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: vector 0.1 (efficient arrays with lots of fusion)

Hi all,
the vector library will eventually provide fast, Int-indexed arrays with a powerful fusion framework. It's very immature at the moment (I haven't tested most of the code) and implements just a few combinators but I thought releasing early wouldn't hurt. Use at your own risk and expect things to break horribly!
Sounds interesting. How does this compare to the uvector library? Thanks, Levi

IIUC, uvector is based on an older version of the DPH libraries and only provides unboxed arrays. On the other hand, it's much more stable and has more functionality. I expect that the two libraries will be merged eventually. Roman

That would be great indeed.
