Things that amuse meBenchmarking ray tracing, Haskell vs. OCaml On his web site about OCaml Jon Harrop has a benchmark for a simple ray tracing program written in a number of languages. When I saw it I wondered why Haskell was doing so badly, especially since this benchmark was taken as some kind of proof that Haskell performs poorly in "real life". So I have rerun the benchmarks. I've also rewritten the Haskell vers
