Yes, if you just write naive Haskell code it will probably be slower than C, but why on earth would you do that? There are significant benefits (less bugs, better security) of using Haskell over C, and the only benefit of C (speed) can be achieved where it matters by writing low-level imperative style Haskell, or calling C directly.
no. it seems that you never tried to write such code and believe someone else who's said that such code may be written. try to write something very simple, like summing bytes in memory buffer, before you will do any conclusions -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
