when gcc developers will start to add to C libraries functions performing shootout benchmarks we will continue this discussion :D
atoi(3).
it isn't the same as readInt which was added specifically for this test. it doesn't support arbitrary-size streams and doesn't return rest of stream
Yeah, readInt has a more useful type than atoi() in most circumstances so obviously it's a default which somehow disqualify this function... (I wasn't aware that this function was only useful in the shoutout context, I should probably scrap it from my other programs now) I think we should write all the entries in Haskell98 and disable any optimisation in GHC too, that would gives us a much fairer vision of Haskell current performances. -- Jedaï
