Huge Haskell fanboy here. True high performance, fair enough that's hard everywhere. I think it is unlikely a novice C programmer would accidentally balloon their memory like this. The simplest Haskell program that a novice might write has abysmal performance. I think it is easier to write clear, succinct code in Haskell and easier to write decently fast code in C. Neither is impossible in either.
