Great point. His concluding statement aligns with your observation:

"So then why did I use Haskell? To make cover trees 10 times easier for programmers to use."

Default Haskell is certainly not geared toward numeric performance even though it certainly can be with the right libraries.

Carter claims he can perform optimizations that aren't possible in other languages, though I can't personally speak to them since I'm not well versed in numerical code.

It's not yet in shape for general use, nor for being advocated. There is some tech there that's unique in terms of handing matrix computation on rich formats nicely.

I'd prefer if we reserve advocacy for when i get it to the point where there's public documentation, or at least examples :)

Very sorry, I'll keep quiet about it until you announce it is ready! :)

thanks, i hope that happens relatively soon, though i've been a bit buried with getting life in order, though thats finally moving along nicely.
