Many of those people are making fairly simple mistakes. I think a somewhat seasoned programmer using good libraries can write declarative, concise, and readable code that still is reasonably fast. -k ¹) At least for some approximation of the word. Only one benchmark on the shootout has C at a 3x advantage. -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
