My next question is about speed. How fast would you consider Haskell?

Furthermore, the Haskell page says that ghc produces fast programs.
So I would guess that Haskell is faster than Python, but not as fast
as C.
Would that be correct?
Usually yes.
In a sense. I think it's important to remember that what matters is
performance of a whole application, not

Good point. Ease of programming helps you make /correct/ programs
quicker, and some times allows you to use more advanced algorithms that

Thanks!
That's a great resource. At first glance, Haskell seems to do well over-all.
Cheers,
