Re: [Haskell-cafe] Re: Fun with Haskell, runST, MArray, and a few queens.

G'day all. Quoting Hampus Ram :

I say this is a case of bad code. Of course language <foo> is faster and better if you write horribly bad code in language <bar>.

Good link from LtU: http://www.deftcode.com/archives/every_language_war_ever.html Any direct literal translation of a program from one language to another is probably going to lose something (at least readability, probably also efficiency) unless the languages are similar. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
