Heck, if that code is not smart then nothing is, and in a way, it's a much more interesting question how a compiled functional language compares to compiled imepative ones than the thousand time discussed interpreted vs. compiled match-up. Yes, Curry is anything but mainstream, but you can't say a decent compiler is not at your disposal. The Munster CC (which was used by Kristof, and AFAIK that's the most commonly used implementation) does even have an IDE for OS X. Regards, Csaba
