Concerning the Haskell program that does some statistics and displays
some graphs,
I must say that if that were the task I had to solve I would not use
either C++ or Haskell,
but R, the open source S lookalike. The best way to be productive as
a programmer
is to not write code if you can steal it. R looks like an imperative
language, but it is
"value-oriented" in the same way that SETL is, so is by some criteria
a functional language
of sorts.
