In a bunch of key ways Haskell is closer to the machine than modern languages like JavaScript: it doesn't depend on a complicated JIT system at runtime, it lets you explicitly control details like boxing and unboxing, it exposes various low-level C and machine types (fixed-size ints/etc), it has primops for SIMD... You can write relatively low-level Haskell a lot more easily than you can write low-level JavaScript. You just don't have to. |
