Really bad benchmark? Inappropriate choice of benchmark?

• vmchale 9y ago
  I have a hard time seeing the value in a Mandelbrot benchmark. I absolutely don't have a problem with benchmarks that make Haskell look bad (e.g. directory traversal, regex), but I would like a benchmark that provides insight into the code you'd feasibly be writing in that language.

    Isn't Haskell intended to be a general purpose programming language?
