>GHC can be freakishly slow So can scalac. Many compilers have pathological performance cases. Just repeating "the sky is green" over and over won't make it so. It is well known and widely accepted that scalc is slower than ghc. You don't have to like it, or even accept it. But responding with nonsense strawman arguments as if I am bashing scala is pathetic even by hn standards. You made false claims, I pointed out that they are false. Quite simple. >People are also working on fixing many of the problems raised by Paul Philips Of course they are. Why do you think "people are fixing those problems" is evidence to support your claim that those problems don't exist?
