Comment on Programming Language Checklist (2011)

Comments

To me what’s missing is a functional programming language that is statically typed and has an extreme emphasis on performance. C++ meets Haskell, but not terrible.

That is OCaml. Not that I claim OCaml is extremely fast, but it has a very predictable performance. Which is imho even more important than being the fastest in certain benchmark problems.
