I think you are missing the point. I am not talking about compiler speed
- only about execution. The conversation was about comparing Haskell
with C++ and Java. I am just saying why Java and Java based languages
can be considered by some to be better. I am sorry if it became off-topic.

A Java VM, compiler and/or interpreter can be written in Haskell, as much

understand the argument of why this is 'a feature of Java'.
I should have added "efficiently".
I think there are enough examples of functional languages
being used to implement efficient compilers...
... and of those compilers generating efficient code.
Generic languages, on the other hand, allow writing higher
level languages.
Again, high-level languages can also be (and often are) written in
high level languages, rather than something like Java.
Good scripting languages can use Java primitive directly allowing for a
full interaction between high level and Java code.
God forbid anyone take this definition as fact.
I use this feature all the
time with languages like Jython and Groovy.
Great. But I wonder if this talk of implementing languages in Java wouldn't
be more on-topic in the mailing lists of those projects?
