I think we could make some sort of claim for the concise nature of Haskell code based on "Evaluating High-Level Distributed Language Constructs" by Phil Trinder http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~trinder/papers/ICFP2007.pdf which suggests a code size ratio approximately GdH = 1, Erlang = 6, C++ = 42. I'm assuming GdH is sufficiently close to vanilla Haskell for this result to apply to Haskell too. Richard.
