Wow. Some Haskell hackers have started paying a small bit of attention to the Great Computer Language Shootout site, and the results are impressive.
Haskell now takes first place in the
lines of code competition. In the
CPU time competition, Haskell is also doing quite respectably: it beats out OCaml by a small margin, and defeats Java,
C++, Python, Perl, Erlang, Ruby, Mono, Tcl, etc. by significant margins.
These links are all using the Shootout default weightings for individual tests.
The only downside to the Shootout is that the programs -- for all languages -- are not really idomatic and don't show off a language's natural beauty. Sounds like it's time to gather up some Haskell hackers to rally around the
PLEAC effort as well.
