Probably this one: http://www.cs.yale.edu/publications/techreports/tr1049.pdf

But take it with some sacks of salt -- it's a single research paper. It should be replicated, peer reviewed, etc to have any merit. It's methodology could be totally crap for example...

It is really interesting. I do get the feeling that the researchers really wanted Haskell to win, though. It would be nice if researchers with other favorite languages also arrived at the same conclusion.
