sure! types are something you can compare and the differences are so clear but I will probe the code in some programs like bubble sort (least efficient) including DataBase (HDBC) and MySql... This time, my mail is concerning about "queuing theory", hmmmm... I tough list are nice concept for this purpose... I wan't so sure about the other languages.

I want to compare data structure between Haskell, Java, Lisp and C. I am wondering if I could compare list comprehention in haskell with the vector class in Java, macros in common lisp and dynamic arrays in C.

You /can/ compare them, of course, but they are very different concepts. I'd classify list comprehensions and macros as control structures, rather than data structures, for instance.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare Haskell's algebraic data types with C structs, Java classes, and Lisp S-expressions?
