you are mistaking the meaning of expressiveness
I'll provide a short example in assembler vs haskell expressive power.
I'll use hello world as an example.
This is considers an amd64 compatible processor, because I have to know the names of the registers. ```asm
section .data
str: db 'Hello world!', 0Ah
str_len: equ $ - str section .text
global _start _start:
mov eax, 4
mov ebx, 1
mov ecx, str
mov edx, str_len
int 80h
mov eax, 1
mov ebx, 0
int 80h
``` In Haskell I don't have to consider any processor. ```hs
main = putStr "Hello World"
``` expressiveness is about how much code you need for a certain behavior.
It's not about how many (possible fucked up) source files my compiler accepts. |
