Go will still outperform Haskell by a huge margin and the typical Go process will have a much smaller memory footprint.
I don't even like Go, but nobody choosing Go is realistically considering Haskell as an alternative.
- platz 12y agoI don't like go either, but I won't believe that a ghc webserver is a fast as a go webserver until we can see it in the techempower benchmarks.
- coolsunglasses 12y agoThe Techempower benchmarks are using the old version of GHC, 7.6, and the Golang devs have been tuning Go's core libraries to win at this specific benchmark.

- jlouis 12y agoEven then, it is only a factor of 2 slower. That is next to nothing.
- coolsunglasses 12y agoRight, precisely, and this is at a very silly tier of microbenchmarking where you're doing little to no actual work, something you virtually won't ever find in the "real world".
- tel 12y agoI'm not so sure that is true. I'd love to see some benchmarking, though.
- samth 12y agoI encourage you to look a the benchmarks published here: http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hask035-voellmy.pdf http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/hask03... which includes Haskell beating nginx and Haskell beating SDN controllers written in C++ and in Java.
