This is certainly true. I've coded up in less than six months, something that uses better algorithms and finer grained concurrency than the software I used to work on, and the latter represented 5 or more man-years of coding. However this is server software, which is long running so performance and memory usage are pretty important, and these are relatively hard to get right in Haskell.
i've improved memory usage of my program 3 times one month after i've started to use Haskell, and 4 times more 1.5 years later (the last improvement included development of ByteString-alike library and strictifying some computations). i think that for programming-in-large experienced haskeller may reach C-like level of efficiency, unlike for programming-in-small (i.e. implementation of raw computations) -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
