While we're thinking a little about the libraries, I received the following: ----- Forwarded message from Pupeno <pupeno@pupeno.com> ----- Date: Tue, 8 Aug 2006 07:44:04 +0000 Subject: Binary IO Hello, I've seen that you have been assigned the task of evaluating binary IO for inclusion in Haskell: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/haskell-prime/ticket/15 I just want to express that I really would like to see this. I was coding a DNS server in Haskell and the main reason I stopped was because binary IO was very, very painful (so many different library, or half libraries, whenever I was using one it seemed to be the wrong one). Thank you. Pupeno <pupeno@pupeno.com> (http://pupeno.com) ----- End forwarded message -----
