::::: but those versions are inefficient anyway. Plus, the proper way to test is to run a compiled, standalone executable, where even <code>primes :: [Int]</code> is garbage collected and runs in near constant memory; while if playing at GHCi prompt, depending on a version, I've seen even <code>primes :: () -> [Int]</code> memoized. But here I thought the aim is to showcase a language not even to (practicing) newbies (there are plenty more other resources for those), but to people even totally unfamiliar with it, just to glance over (but the snippets are still runnable of course). So for me, clarity was the utmost goal. [[User:WillNess|WillNess]] ([[User talk:WillNess|talk]]) 12:06, 12 April 2015 (UTC) |
