in thread Why is the execution order of subexpressions undefined?

I have looked (quite hard) at Haskell, and as Autrijus has shown with Pugs, in the right hands and for the right type of project, it is an amazing language.

However, there are aspects of it--particularly relating to efficiency...

 Since when is Haskell less efficient than Perl? Maybe you need to try GHC.

      So then you're going to show us a piece of code which is slower in Haskell than in Perl?

        Efficiency is not only about speed.
