Linking to the benchmark game as if it means something should be a bannable offense. When you look at something that encourages speed at all costs, that is what you will see. People do low level optimizations like that to gain 0.5% better performance. That does not mean you need to do anything like that to get good performance.

Please contribute your Haskell regex-dna program that does not do anything like that and get's "good" performance.

No. I stopped bothering with that cluster fuck like a decade ago. It is a complete waste of time.

We can stop bothering about your -- "That does not mean you need to do anything like that to get good performance."

[copergi]

You can do whatever you want. But drawing nonsense conclusions won't suddenly become reasonable just because you are defensive about the shootout.

[igouy]

My conclusion is that you've made a claim and done nothing to support that claim.
