currently i'm working on stuff that looks something like this:
1 read soundfile from disk in blocks of N samples (IOCArray, hsndfile
package)
2 convert to CArray with unsafeFreeze (simple O(1) cast, carray package)
3 perform FFT (CArray, fftw package)
4 convert to UArr (uvector package)
5 do some stuff with vectors
[snip]
It would be helpful to see the programs people are writing with uvector,
so I can polish up the API some more :)
It would also be helpful to have someone explain why we have:
Ptr a
ByteString
IOUArray
IOCArray
Data.Storable.StorableArray
UArr
Of course, I know the answers to some of those questions, ByteString is
obviously less polymorphic than all the others there, and Ptr a doesn't
contain size information. But it seems we have a rapidly bifurcating
profusion of 'typed interfaces to chunks of memory' with no obvious
consistency to their naming scheme and I think it's starting to get
confusing...
