Dude - stop trying to explain to HN how great Haskell is. The longer it takes people to catch on the more of a head start we get. In the mean time we can continue to be extremely productive writing programs we can maintain easily and refactor confidently without unit tests, while reaping the benefits of a great community that provides an awesome standard library and thousands of other useful packages (all in a cohesive, standard format). It may not be as fast as hand optimized C. It can be within a factor of 2. Though it can be cross compiled to many platforms without any changes. But I digress - it's my secret weapon and I'd like to keep it that way ;)
