(f <> g) x == (mappend . f <*> g) x i guess?

@totallyhuman: Of course I didn't ;P

Btw. I found a shorter one: main=do x<-readFile __FILE__;print$length x`gcd`3 --

damn i was thinking of all kinds of things with modulo, didn't think about gcd

You could "rollback" to using (>>=) which would work ^^

there's a necessary space in that too though :P

Yep

how coincidental of the code's length to be a divisible by 3... i mean, it had 66% of a chance of not :P

i'm technically allowed to assume a filename of a.hs

but a wrapper's required for that

No idea

12 would work as well but it's not improving the byte count, however it doesn't contain unnecessary characters, hehe

This would be a bit nicer to use

Btw. since it's not Windows, could you not assume a as a filename? I'm not sure on the rules for these things and can't be bothered to look it up..

Yet, .hs is exactly 3 bytes again - still that annoying space..

ghc wants a .hs file

does runhaskell not?

No

Didn't know that ghc does, but then again I never really had a reason to try out these things before

i suppose this is valid

If you can assume "a" as a file name sure (oh, and you don't need to use ./a)
