[Haskell-cafe] Re: Haskell vs Ruby as a scripting language

Hi

pidigits is not (currently) one of the nofib programs (phew :-).

Shame...

I suppose the reason for the results is because the test spends most of its time in GMP?

Taking a brief look that does indeed appear to be true. I don't think there could be any other reason for Yhc getting so close :) And in light of these benchmarks I'd like to restate my performance claims of Yhc to "between 2x and 100x slower than GHC, usually". Thanks Neil
