You know, it'd be more convincing if you can come up with reproducible benchmarks to backup your claims. According to This guy's data: http://www.codexon.com/po

You know, it'd be more convincing if you can come up with reproducible benchmarks to backup your claims. According to This guy's data: http://www.codexon.com/posts/debunking-the-erlang-and-haskell-hype-for-servers http://www.codexon.com/posts/debunking-the-erlang-and-haskel... Haskell is even slower than python (which is not known for its speed) for implementing simple servers. Haskell code that performs close (within an order of magnitude in terms of run time and space) to its C/C++ equivalent typically is also close in code length (and often less readable!) and often unsafe as well (requires explicit unboxing etc.)
