Still, I think youre methodology sucks. If you want to compare languages you should implement the same algorithm. (...) If this is about comparing languages, you should compare them fairly.
But is it comparing them fairly if you use an algorithm which favors direct naive procedural implementation (i.e. favors C#), or one which favors a lazy mathematical formalism (i.e. Haskell)? Seems to me you get the best picture by picking two algorithms, one which favors C# and one which favors Haskell, and implementing both in both languages. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
