I'd strongly argue that speed is not a reason to use Clean -- esp. if
you have more than one core:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ghc&lang2=clean&box=1
Nor a reason to use OCaml, for that matter:
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=ghc&lang2=ocaml&box=1
The Haskell compiler isn't the bottleneck. Use it when performance matters. I
do.
Reading the OP's statements, though, it seems picking the right library
is more of a problem. And widespread expertise in fast Haskell.
