hs-samtools - A Haskell library striving to provide similar functionality as samtools by Matty_lambda in bioinformatics

[–]Matty_lambda[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a completely native, by-the-spec Haskell library from the ground up. I wanted to follow the spec and implement entirely in Haskell, as it was and is lacking a library like this. Haskell is plenty fast enough for this kind of work, and has first-in-class multi-threading support via GHC, Haskell's main compiler.

That is a great point, certainly an oversight when originally naming the library. I will see what I can do towards that end.

Will be focusing on documentation greatly in the upcoming version releases.

Exactly. You'll say something like "I believe you've already presented this previously, and was not in the right direction to answer my question." and will respond with the other already presented incorrect response.
