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, but any other metric, such as time to market and code quality metrics could also be
Just curious, has anybody tried to apply Halstead's code metrics (see e. g. http://www.sei.cmu.edu/str/descriptions/halstead_body.html), but there is a 70s' book titled "Elements of Software Science" to Haskell and other functional languages vs. C and other imperative languages? I myself played with these calculations in late 80s trying to estimate code quality of Pascal programs on PDP-11, but that was a pain to count functions' operands properly as they might come from global variables. Application of these formulas to functional languages might be mich cleaner, so has anybody tried? Thanks. -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
