When Haskell Is Not faster than C
I still wonder to this day why Haskell programmers want their language to be loved so much.<p>At times it feels like that kid at the playground that spends half his time telling everyone how he's the best thing since sliced bread and cries himself to sleep at night wondering why no one will play with him and his monads.<p>Don't get me wrong, Haskell looks like a great language with obvious qualities and I don't knock anyone for using it, to each his own, it's just the never ending publicity and proselytism that really rubs me wrong. People adopt new languages, not the other way around.
