[Haskell-cafe] interesting IO oriented code

2005-03-17 Thread robert dockins
I while back following the most recent discussion about filepaths and IO generally, I decided to pick up the torch and try my hand at a solution that delt with all the issues. My conception of the problem can be found here:

2) It is performant (mostly). At least it outperforms other Haskell IO methods I have tried. My 'wc' is about twice as fast as the current shootout version in informal tests (the shootout code is included in the repo). My md5 can sum somewhere between 2-4Mb/Sec on my hardware. You know

I've been wondering lately, about the shootout results. Is there some Haskell Language intrinsic reason that OCaml performs so well in comparison to Haskell in the shootout (e.g. even optimized Haskell code will allways be slower because of overhead of language features or something like
