It was available - Data.HashTable seems to be copyright 2003. http://ogi.altocumulus.org/~hallgren/Programatica/tools/pfe.cgi?Data.HashTable > And Data.HashTable also use some mutable array thing so it is still not > the idiomatic Haskell of everything is immutable. afaict idiomatic is everything referentially transparent not everything immutable, as in - "I needed a halfway decent mutable collection type – having a properly tested mutable collection that actually performs well would be a godsend." And maybe the description for this bug report says it all - http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3149 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
