I'm trying to find out:<br>
- How, in general, functional programming languages perform on data-intensive tasks (manipulation of large datasets, e.g.: doing some statistical analysis on a table with 100.000 instances and 30 columns) (regarding speed and memory usage)<br>
- Which functional language performs best?<br>
<br>
A quick glance at the following benchmark, gave me the impression that Clean and Caml seem to perform best with regard to memory consumption:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/" target="_blank">http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/</a><br>
<br>
Is that true?<br>
<br>
Additional question: which functional languages exploits (hardware) parallelism running on a multi core CPU best? (Or more CPU's)?
<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
