<br>Strict typing is a boon to software designers in that it helps point out even major design flaws and that too rather earlier.<br><br>But, apart from this, if one is trying to deal with a computational problem involving lots and lot of state-change (and things like memoization etc), then there is no "easy" way out for a beginner in Haskell. IMHO, that's because, Haskell isn't modelled after the so called state-change model of computation.<br>
<br>But I am sure, Haskell Gurus out there may help you out if you give more inputs about your problem.<br><br>-Damodar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 1:45 PM, KC <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kc1956@gmail.com" target="_blank">kc1956@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
