...See this Haskell Symposium paper and the corresponding talk for the motivation behind the library, the underlying theory and implementation details. We can give semantics to the constructors in terms of the pair (V, E) of graph vertices and edges. Alga can handle graphs comprising millions of vertices and billions of edges in a matter of seconds, which is fast enough for many applications. We believe there is a lot of potential for improving the performance of the library, and this is one of our top priorities. If you come across a performance issue when using the library, please let us know.
