[plt-scheme] Re: Fwd: [erlang-questions] Another Programming Language Comparison

Just before forwarding a near-duplicate of this message from the
Haskell mailing list (see "The speed, size and dependability of
programming languages" at
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell/2009-June/021363.html), I saw
your message.  It looks like you had beaten me to the punch *-(.

Aside, what I found particularly interesting about this blog entry was
the blog writer's choice of PLT Scheme for generating the charts;
_viz._:

Not bad for PLT Scheme, considering that the writer was coding a
benchmark and chose PLT Scheme as his tool!
