I would like to stress this point. I looked into using Haskell a year
or two ago for doing DSP and digital communications simulations, but one
big hangup I had was the speed issue. I originally used SPW for doing
this, but migrated to pure C because of the speedups. For me, each
simulation (even in pure C) would 15-30 to make and then take 2 to 6
hours to run to completion, so any performance loss would result in a
productivity loss.
