>I don't know why you are responding so angrily

I'm not. Given that you can't tell someone's emotional state via text, it doesn't make much sense to assume an emotional state for someone else simply because it will make you feel better.

>The page you linked to explicitly says "Stability experimental"

So does every library. It is the default state of a seldom used feature that still hasn't been removed.

>I also don't know why you are behaving as if I dislike Haskell

I am responding to what you say. You said using a mutable unboxed array is hard. That is not a simple misunderstanding, that is either a complete lack of having ever tried to learn haskell, or a deliberate lie. There's literally no other options. I teach people haskell. They do not use lists for anything other than control. They have absolutely no problem using arrays.

>I also gave you a concrete example of a reasonable and necessary task I found difficult

But you didn't say what made it difficult. So a reader is left to assume you are trolling since that task is trivial.




Steady on. I think all relevant points have already been made in this thread, and there's not much more to add.

The Haskell community has historically had a reputation as a welcoming and friendly community. Let's work on presevering that.
