Faster and less memory intensive[1] and has a type system.

Hummm...

I do agree that Haskell will be faster and less memory intensive than erlang, but this benchmark is not really significant...

I am not going to use erlang to write a mandelbrot...

Yeah, it could well be that you just care about latency hiding on e.g. network services. For that raw compute and memory is much less important than having a reasonable thread scheduler and cheap threads.

Exactly my point :)

I was wonder, how well haskel does in that area...
