I think we could make some sort of claim for the concise nature of
Haskell code based on "Evaluating High-Level Distributed Language
Constructs" by Phil Trinder

http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~trinder/papers/ICFP2007.pdf

which suggests a code size ratio approximately GdH = 1, Erlang = 6,
C++ = 42. I'm assuming GdH is sufficiently close to vanilla Haskell
for this result to apply to Haskell too.


Richard.
