I always feel worried when people say this... It's almost like admitting "hey, Haskell is beautiful, but it can never be fast". I always find myself wanting that statement to be false...
I agree with you, but at the same time, if Don says something about the performance of Haskell I tend to trust him on it. I find that his ability to optimize Haskell tends to set the bar. Otoh, I'd love to see someone demonstrate otherwise here :) Jason
