Miguel's Base64 Encoder 
=======================

Initially coded on a cold winter afternoon to fully understand **base64 encoding** and play with 
**Haskell**, which is always an indisputable pleasure. Hacked together in _big anger_, due to my 
friend Nick's fairy tales about saving his encrypted binary data in plain _ASCII_ 
configuration files,... featuring strange letters and non-printable characters. :smile: 

After optimizing quite a bit, the encoder performs around **460MB/s** on a single core of my _i7-4790K_.
