[Haskell-beginners] Writing huge result of `show` to file results in out of memory

[Imants Cekusins]

another thing which may make a difference:

if it is, why not change it to strict?

is there a reason why large data structures - especially if they are
expected to be serialized at some point - should be used in their lazy form?
