&gt; Oh! Much faster. Looks like Haskell is 100x faster than C#.<br>&gt; Who gets fired? :)<br></blockquote></div><br>Well, you&#39;ve switched back to using unsafe operations there, Donald ;-)<br><br><span class="gmail_quote">
</span>Anyway, before you guys get too narked at me ;-) I&#39;d just like to say that I&#39;m very impressed by the work that is going on in Haskell.&nbsp; I wouldnt be here otherwise.&nbsp; Haskell stands a very good chance of solving one of the great unsolved issues at this time, which is: managing threading.
<br><br>Just dont want you guys to get too complacent ;-) Running benchmarks against Java and so on is much more motivational than running against g++, because you can no longer say &quot;oh well Java is faster because it doesnt have a GC!&quot;, because clearly it does; and bounds-checking, and many other useful goodies besides.
<br><br>So keep up the good work.&nbsp; I&#39;m quite happy for my tax dollars to be being spent on Haskell research :-) and I&#39;m really looking forward to seeing what comes out of it.<br><br>
