"Wow. i's and j's all the way, what is this? Why is it so long compared to the Haskell example? This looks like comparing C and assembly 30 years ago! And in some respects, it is the same leap."
I don't think this is a fair comment considering the in-place Haskell implementation isn't incredibly readable either.
- the_af 12y agoAgreed. I think his overall argument still has merit, but the specific example isn't very good, because Java's quicksort implementation is in-place. He isn't comparing equivalent programs.
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoThe criticism seems especially misplaced because of how fond Haskell coders are of one-letter names for values...
