once i compared informally LOC for freearc (freearc.org) and 7-zip
(7zip.org) - both are archivers with rather close functionality at the
time of comparison - freearc was 3 times smaller. i also think that it
wsas developed about 3 times faster than rar/7zip archivers, although
this comparison is rather rough

overall, i see from 10x improvements when we say about multithreading
or complex algorithms to Haskell being even worse than C++ when we
say about imperative, especially low-level, especially optimized code
