Does anyone know of a good case study comparing a project written in C versus one written in Haskell? I'm mostly looking for a comparison of lines of code,
Some of the "Experience Report" category of paper at ICFP 2007 and 2008 might have the kind of thing you are looking for. I know that mine: "Experience Report: Visualizing Data Through Functional Pipelines" David Duke, Rita Borgo, Colin Runciman, Malcolm Wallace ICFP 2008 has a brief comparison of sLoC between Haskell and C++ implementations of similar algorithms. (But you may have to wait until it is published to obtain an electronic copy.) Regards, Malcolm
