Folks,
Why use runST in the following example at
http://www.n-heptane.com/nhlab/repos/NewBinary/Tests/BinDouble.hs ?
doubleToInts d = runST (
do arr <- newDoubleArray (1,2)
writeDoubleArray arr 1 d
i1 <- readIntArray arr 1
i2 <- readIntArray arr 2
return (i1,i2))
Isn't it possible to do the same within the IO monad?
Thanks, Joel
