Yes. > If that is the case, I doubt there is any choice for Haskell. iirc the Haskell programs, and the Clean programs, and the Pascal programs, and ... use translations of the simple hash table used by the C programs. If I ever knew, I don't recall why the Haskell program does not use Data.HashTable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
