That’s been my experience. Across the spectrum of languages I’ve found certain features such as dynamic memory, managed memory, memory safety, evaluation model, etc all have an impact on the transparency of understanding time and space characteristics. I spend most of my time in assembly and C, but love the sheer ranges of language options we have today. I put Haskell in the “Miranda” branch of languages which I love for tackling some problems but day to day but I’ve never got a handle on how that translates into predictable characteristics of the generated code.
