Question

Is it possible to turn off lazy evaluation in Haskell?

Is there a specific compiler flag of library to facilitate this?

I wanted to try something new with

Answer 1

In addition to what Daniel Wagner listed you may want to take a look at a similar question Is there a Haskell compiler or preprocessor that uses strict evaluation?.

• Answers include the DDC compiler which attempts to make an strict version of haskell and only lazy explicitly
• ghc plugin described in monad.reader 12
• "Using nfdata and rnf everywhere" - solrize
• and more

The predominate suggestion is to use profiling tools and learn how to optimize Haskell as it is however, since most would consider it a different language with non-strict evaluation turned off.
