I should have expressed myself a bit more precise. The participants in the ICFP 2006 contest discussed their experience afterwards. And, since our language of choice is Haskell, we didn't like the fact that we had to program in another language (C in our case) to obtain reasonable speed. But that says more about Haskell than about the contest...Johan Jeuringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035760811349164958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307152710341271576.post-61428949238888284862007-06-14T02:41:00.000+02:002007-06-14T02:41:00.000+02:00Actually, I thought the C requirement was a great ...Actually, I thought the C requirement was a great addition because one of the most amazing parts of the competition was that it covered *all* areas of computing in Real Life.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938451998954275606noreply@blogger.com
