Re: [Haskell-cafe] Looking for numbers to support using haskell

I'd be interested in more studies in this space. Does anyone know of empirical studies on program robustness vs. other languages? Nick On 09/23/2013 11:31 AM, MigMit wrote:

Hi all,

I'm looking for articles that provide some technical support for why Haskell rocks. Not just cheerleading, but something with a bit of real information in it - a comparison of code snippets in multiple languages, or the results of a study on programmer productivity (given all the noise and heat on the topic of type checking, surely there's a study somewhere that actually provides light as well), etc.

Basically, I'd love things that would turn into an elevator pitch of "I can show you how to be X times more productive than you are using Y", and then the article provides the evidence to support that claim.

Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
