* Binary parsing: binary + cereal ? * Vectors: vector
I strongly support adding these to HP.
* gtk2hs
And I support gtk2hs. I've had odd issues with wxHaskell and have observed me/others having trouble finding good examples or help.
* Hashing: pureMD5
And I oppose adding pureMD5 or any other individual crypto algorithm libraries before we have a reasonably standardized API. By the end of August I hope to have the new crypto-api done [1] enough to place on Hackage. It should be a quick job to make matching APIs for simpleAES, cryptohash, maybe twofish and TigerHash. After these APIs are built we can add the packages either directly to HP or I propose using a meta-package "crypto-algs" which simply pulls in the individual packages as dependencies (not much difference to HP, but it's nice for cabal-install users and packages that will depend on crypto-algs). Cheers, Thomas [1] "Done" to me means at least - The API is fairly stable / agreed on. - The semantics are agreeable to most people who use/build the crypto routines. - System.CryptoRandom exists/works for POSIX (via /dev/urandom) and Windows (via the windows crypto RNG). - Reasonable tests are included - Modes are implemented (though they will perform sub-optimally)
