Looking for numbers to support using haskell

Hi all, I'm looking for articles that provide some technical support for why Haskell rocks. Not just cheerleading, but something with a bit of real information in it - a comparison of code snippets in multiple languages, or the results of a study on programmer productivity (given all the noise and heat on the topic of type checking, surely there's a study somewhere that actually provides light as well), etc. Basically, I'd love things that would turn into an elevator pitch of "I can show you how to be X times more productive than you are using Y", and then the article provides the evidence to support that claim. Thanks, Mike

The classical reference is, I think, the paper “Haskell vs. Ada vs. C++ vs. Awk vs. ... An Experiment in Software Prototyping Productivity”

I'd be interested in more studies in this space. Does anyone know of empirical studies on program robustness vs. other languages? Nick On 09/23/2013 11:31 AM, MigMit wrote:

Hi Nick,
FP Complete has a lot of good resources on this topic, including some case
studies: https://www.fpcomplete.com/business/resources/case-studies/
I believe part of their aim is making the business case for Haskell
(meaning many of the resources are geared towards management), which I
realize is not exactly what you asked for. But hopefully you'll find
something there that can help.
Best,
Eric

The fpcomplete case studies are similar to what I'm looking for.
Anyone have more of them? Maybe a blog post or comparison they've written?
Thanks,

you can also look at the CUFP talks by various folks doing haskell based
businesses in the past year or several. worth watching some of them
