Scheme

How do I declare the types of the parameters in order to circumvent type checking?

How do I optimize the speed to tell the compiler to run the function as fast as possible like (optimize speed (safety 0))?

How do I make an inline function in Scheme?

How do I use an unboxed representation of a data object?

And finally are any of these important or necessary? Can I depend on my compiler to make these optimizations?

thanks, kunjaan.

When would you NOT want to use functional programming? What is it not so good at? I am more looking for disadvantages of the paradigm as a whole, not things like "not widely used", or "no good debugger available". Those answers may be correct as of now, but they deal with FP being a new concept (an… >>> More
Should functional programming be taught before imperative programming?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
It seems to me that functional programming is a great thing. It eliminates state and makes it much easier to automatically make code run in parallel. Many programmers who were first taught imperative programming styles find it very difficult to learn functional programming, because it is so different… >>> More
