Version 0.5 of Package vector — high-performance arrays in Haskell
Roman Leshchinskiy, the code ninja behind package dph, released Version 0.5 of package vector and declared the package to be now in beta — Roman provides more details on the new features and performance. As a result, Don Stewart announced that he will stop developing uvector further (with the exception of maintenance fixes) and encouraged uvector users to move to package vector. Both package vector and uvector are spin offs from the array library developed as part of the Data Parallel Haskell (DPH) project, and we plan to eventually use vector, instead of the code from which it was derived, in DPH — vector is cleaner and faster than the DPH code.
Package vector nicely demonstrates that purely functional programming and high performance go well together.
