Well, if the code does the same thing and it’s 1/10 the size, that would be convincing. Don’t recall seeing this sort of comparison for ML languages in the past

- jackmott 9y agonot usually 1/10 almost always at least 1/2, sometimes approaching 1/10 if a class hierarchy is a large % of the project and it can turn into a discriminated union.
- sidlls 9y agoThere are plenty of such comparisons (a famous one comparing Haskell to C++ comes up every so often). Most of the time there is a generous positive bias toward the favored language and excessive abuse of the worst features of the one that is the target of ridicule. It's not just FP versus Other, either; it's sort of an industry meme in some sense.
