Well, I don't know about SML/NJ, since I don't see anything obviously wrong at http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=smlnj&lang2=ghc&box=1 But as for Prolog - I can't help but think of a quote I saw in a recent paper in LtU, which went something like 'Our first prototype was written in Prolog, but when we realized that we were using none of the logic programming features, we decided to rewrite in Haskell.' -- gwern _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
