Hello Thomas,

you should look inside these tests, as i done :)
most of these tests depends on libraries speed. in one test, PHP is
1st. from 2 or 3 tests that depends on compiler speed, one was fooled
by adding special function readInt to ghc libs and the rest are
written in low-level haskell code - look the sources
Shock news – benchmarks lead to compiler and library optimisations.
News at 11!
Of note, of all the managed languages, this is about the fastest √
none of the other languages that offer safety and garbage collection
etc get as close as Haskell does.
i'm sorry, but this test only shows amount of work spent to optimize
these programs. results of some tests was made 10-100 times better,
while improving real programs performance needs much more work :)
I don't get your point at all. Are you implying that none of the code
for any of the other languages up there is optimized in any way?
