This is something I just noticed...
hello.hs:
module Main(main) where
main = putStr "Hello world!\n"
hello.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
printf("Hello world!\n");
return 0;
}
[abe@shiva:~/src/test] $ ghc hello.hs -o hello_hs
[abe@shiva:~/src/test] $ gcc hello.c -o hello_c
[abe@shiva:~/src/test] $ ls -l hello_*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 abe engy 13712 Jul 18 11:34 hello_c
-rwxr-xr-x 1 abe engy 299900 Jul 18 11:33 hello_hs
Why is the binary made by ghc 20 times bigger than the one made by gcc?
