> A good high-level high-performance programming language would be a blessing to the field of bioinformatics. It could extend the reach of biologists, shorten the development time for experienced programmers and save the running time of numerous python scripts by many folds. The author might like to look at J for specific calculations (and Futhark for similar tasks). I use Haskell, it's not quite on par with C though. Other MLs are wonderful too.
