I'm trying to find out: - How, in general, functional programming languages perform on data-intensive tasks (manipulation of large datasets, e.g.: doing some statistical analysis on a table with 100.000 instances and 30 columns) (regarding speed and memory usage) - Which functional language performs best?
A quick glance at the following benchmark, gave me the impression that Clean and Caml seem to perform best with regard to memory consumption: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ Is that true? Additional question: which functional languages exploits (hardware) parallelism running on a multi core CPU best? (Or more CPU's)? Thanks in advance, Chide
