Ocaml vs. Haskell

Ocaml: small, compiles very fast, runs very fast, very convenient imperative and OO features for times when things just need to get done

Haskell (GHC): conceptually and visually pretty code, cutting-edge, very slow and memory-consuming compiler, occasionally fast but usually slow runtime (but faster than java), purity and laziness sometimes problematic, records suck

which does /prog/ prefer?

Haskell, but only because I know it much better. I probably should write some real program in Ocaml to learn it better.

Not sure if I like OCaml's syntax

Haskell all the way, baby!

Haskell. If I want fast I use C++, true story.

Haskell. I'm an xmonad user and I'm writing a system in Haskell for the management of my company's ebay stuff. Mmm enterprisey.

I haven't used Haskell, but I can say that Ocaml's syntax, and some of its semantics, indeed have problems. It really needs a cleanup, but that's not going to happen. :(

both are worthless toy languages

get a grip on reality

C, if I want fast I use BBCode, true story.

>>Haskell. I'm an xmonad user
sup dons?

I'm the xmonad user

conceptually and visually pretty code
Show me, all the haskell code i've seen is pretty ugly.

>>12
It's pretty /and/ ugly? Anonymous, you make no sense!

Don't change these.
