Darcs is written in the obscure boutique language Haskel. Haskel is a
very high level language, which means that you specify problems at a
level higher than the precise algorithm, which means that Haskel may
implement an exponential or high order polynomial time or storage space
algorithm, which runs fine on toy academic and test tasks, but never
completes on real world tasks.
Such very high level languages will never produce usable software unless
they report the order of the algorithm.
