This is exactly what I am talking about, I'm "not ready to leave C++".
C++ certainly has it's faults, and some of them are quite painful. However, I find there are things I can do nicer in Haskell than C++, but some jobs call for an XORed linked list, or implementing trailing by knowing my underlying types are C and just calling memcpy, and I can't do that in Haskell.
At http://minisat.se/ , you will find Minisat, an (in my opinion) neat, easy to read(ish) and highly efficient C++ program. I've seen numerous people try to turn it into Haskell and all they have ended up with is something less readable, and much slower.
