Java? http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=alllang=ghclang2=java C#? Donald, i have written (an not once) that most of shooutout entries doesn't check speed of compiled code. for example, in one test TCL was the fastest language, because in most cases they measure speed of shipped libs or RTS so Hugh is right. making Haskell as fast as Java/C# will *significantly* increase its userbase. in particular, i'm now interested in development of large systems using Haskell and main problem in doing this its low performance so please don't consider this as words against Haskell, better look at your own highly-optimized code in FPS/shootout and decide whether it's written in high-level FP style? -- Best regards, Bulatmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
