On: When Haskell is Faster than C

[shrughes]

Are you writing that in Haskell or in C? Because in Haskell, you'd want to use the /= operator. In C, you'd want to use strcmp.

[vajrabum → shrughes]

I think you meant strncmp. Nobody ever wants strcmp, not if they know what it does.

[shrughes → vajrabum]

We know what it does and it's the right thing to use. You must be thinking of strncpy or some other ennified string.h function.

[tedunangst → vajrabum]

You don't know what you're talking about.
