Walter Bright:
Speed is only one measure of utility.
I agree, I program often in Python, and it can be very useful, despite being sometimes not fast at all.
But as Haskell folks sometimes say, a modern language should try to allow a high level style of coding while still keeping a "good enough" efficiency.
------------------------ Justin Whear:
I hadn't realized how bug-prone non-trivial loops tend to be until I started writing this way and avoided them entirely.
I agree.
Thus far, I don't think I've rewritten anything out of the component programming style, so while probably not optimal, it's been more than good enough.

Is that a lot better than ghc?
According to this article it seems better, but I have no direct experience of it:
