FW: [Caml-list] Data structures and algorithms in Caml programs

Mon Dec 15 11:38:48 EST 2003

Dear Haskell library folk
Here's an interesting survey about data structure libraries. It's Caml
oriented, but very relevant to Haskell too.

Subject: [Caml-list] Data structures and algorithms in Caml programs
 Bonjour,
I have reviewed 20 programs I think representative of Caml, trying to
investigate the usages and needs in data structures and algorithms.
http://www.edite-de-paris.com.fr/~fpons/Caml/Ressources/dsInCaml.html
The purpose is to have a more precise idea of what is really giving
trouble and help library designers to provide solutions that are
closely related to the programmers needs.
All comments are welcome including corrections and programmers
feedback on code design, etc.
