So Haskell is damned with C++'s brush despite being safer than Java...

• seanmcdirmid 14y ago
  Haskell is completely managed, its not very native at all. They have a garbage collector right? Since everyone is compiling to native instructions these days, GC (and the memory safety required for it) is about the main difference. At the end of the day, each one of your VMs are running on hardware, the point about Clojure being JVM-friendly is more about ecosystem and interop then some efficient execution concerns. You could say Haskell is interoperable with everything and nothing, and be right on both counts.
