Does Haskell actually succeed here?

This is perhaps not the right way to measure, but: When I last checked the programming language benchmark game [0], the Haskell submissions were basically as fast as C/C++/Rust. But, this came at the cost of writing non-idiomatically/non-functionally – essentially abusing the language to write C in Haskell. I would be curious how well "idiomatic" Haskell compares to C++/Rust, in terms of the compiler optimizing away the functional abstractions.

Thanks, that's pretty convincing.
