The Haskell website claims that
"Ericsson measured an improvement factor of between 9 and 25 in one set of experiments on telephony software".
Presumably this is with Erlang not with Haskell. I have searched for the reference that substantiates this claim but I've only been able to find:
http://set.gmd.de/~ap/femsys/wiger.html
which talks about a productivity factor of 4
and
http://www.md.chalmers.se/Cs/Research/Functional/Fudgets/haskell-vs-ada-abstract.html
which suggests that Haskell is about 2-3 times as productive as imperative languages.
Can someone point me at some more references? Especially the one that talks about a productivity improvement of 9-25?
Thanks, Dominic.
