[Haskell-cafe] fundata1 -- Karmic Social Capital Benchmark and Shootout

[Daryoush Mehrtash]

In the lessons you say:

Haskell proved too slow with String Map, so we ended up interning strings
> and working with an IntMap and a dictionary to disintern back to strings as
> a last step.  Daniel Fisher was instrumental in bringing Haskell up to speed
> with OCaml and then beating it.  Don Stewart provided awesome leadership and
> amazing modification of Haskell's core data structured before your very
> eyes.

Can you elaborate on this?

and What do you mean by: "modification of Haskell's core data structured " ?
