Just a random observation: the competition for Haskell is not really C or C++. C is basically dead; C++ is only really useful when you dont want people to be able to read your source code.
btw, in his HOPL paper http://www.research.att.com/~bs/hopl-almost-final.pdf Bjarne emphasize that now C++ is language for system programming rather than application programming
Java comes close to being competition, but it's slow and eats memory
never checked it myself, but people say that modern Java implementations are as fast as C# and close to C++ speeds -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
