Well, it clearly demonstrates that it is possible to write fast code in Haskell.
my measures says that by psending 3x more time than for C you can optimize haskell code to be only 3x slower than C one
succinct and correct programs. (Is it possible to have an alternative Haskell "track" in the shootouts?)
even w/o enthusiasts Shootout mainly measure speed of libraries
Since this was done, there has been great strides in available libraries and GHC optimizations, and it'd also be interesting to see whether we now are able to optimize ourselves away from much of the overhead.
eh, if it was possible, we have seen this. both on shootout and here when people are crying that their code isn't as fast as those ads say. haskell compilation can't yet automatically avoid laziness and convert pure high-level code into equivalent of C one. libraries doesn't change anything - they provide low-level optimized solutions for particular tasks but can't optimize your own code once you started to write it -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
