I've posted a summary of the results on my blog at http://ryani.livejournal.com/18287.html -- ryan 2008/9/24 Rafael Gustavo da Cunha Pereira Pinto :

Is the report available yet?

Yikes. Haskell did pretty terribly! Anyone have an idea why, given our success in previous contests?

David (speaking as someone who was traveling that weekend and didn't have time to compete)

I would say we did OK,

Top 10: Java, C++, Java, Haskell, Haskell, C , C++ , C , C++, C++

So now given the size of the competition, the results are starting to look more like places like topcoder or spoj, where the top entries are primarily C and C++, but with a disproportionate represenation of Haskell and OCaml at the top end.
