Haskell is cool but I am puzzled with that Haskell vs C example.
What is he comparing? Parallel Haskell vs what?

Also he is right by using the argument "naive",
but more likely "naive use of the language" for a given algorithm, the  
very thing you arguing against?
I'd like to see the comparisons of a "non-naive" implementations too :)
