I'd say it depends on which ML derivative you're talking about.
I've found F# to be pretty good in all of the areas you mentioned. Although not enough to literally provide an order or magnitude boost like the post you were replying to suggested.
I think people use "order of magnitude" a little too freely. Developing with Java (and to a lesser extent, C#) feels slower than with F#, but not 10 times slower.
- rienbdj 8y agoI was not exaggerating, although you would not see the same improvements for all applications. The big win for me is do notation (or computation expressions). I hate to think how I would even write complex async code without it. If I was only writing something linear then Java wouldnt be so bad.
