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
once i compared informally LOC for freearc (freearc.org) and 7-zip (7zip.org) - both are archivers with rather close functionality at the time of comparison - freearc was 3 times smaller. i also think that it wsas developed about 3 times faster than rar/7zip archivers, although this comparison is rather rough overall, i see from 10x improvements when we say about multithreading or complex algorithms to Haskell being even worse than C++ when we say about imperative, especially low-level, especially optimized code -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
