Talk:Sieve of Eratosthenes: Difference between revisions

:::::about Scala entry: thanks, will take another look (anyone can, that's a wiki, right?). That article also contained the proper sieve list-based code by Richard Bird, in the Epilogue, and that was the reference that you saw, I think. I tried leaving a link there to the newly moved entry though.

:::::And thanks for the link! Very interesting. -- [[User:WillNess|WillNess]] ([[User talk:WillNess|talk]]) 07:14, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

::::::Well, I think that the main difficulty in a new page is explaining what it is, but it sounds like you have that part clear. Probably also good to make it close enough to the SoE page, maybe have references from each one to the other which can also simplify the explanation. Moving the entries should be easy then, since they're not too linked to the current text around them (perhaps except for Haskell if you've done that a while ago). BTW, I've added SoE versions now, with the same three versions -- it's just that their additional verbosity makes the equivalence between the three versions harder to see. They're also roughly as fast as the other version, mostly because I'm too lazy to find out if there's some magic possible that's supposed to make it much faster. (In any case, they're both fast enough to make finding the 19th prime number very fast, and Racket's Lazy language is really not something that can be considered "fast" -- so I still have no idea what that paper mumbled about.) --[[User:Elibarzilay|Elibarzilay]] ([[User talk:Elibarzilay|talk]]) 08:22, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
