I have learned logic from much deeper sources;-) My statement was: Guys started in Haskell and got to conclusion that for performance reasons it is better to move to C. The guys know what they are doing.
I hope that helps;-)
Hmmm, is there any paper/blog/etc. describing exactly what the performance problems were? If something is too slow, usually either the language implementor or the language user can learn something. Furthermore, when moving from programming language X to Y and seeing performance improvements, it is more often than not the case that the reason for this is not that Y is faster than X, but that one has learned a lot about the problem when implementing in X. So in general you see an improvement even when X == Y, i.e. dump your old Haskell code and start from scratch. Cheers, S.
