Yeah, I am currently learning Haskell and was surprised by the apparent low performance of Yesod and Snap in comparison to the faster frameworks.

I am wondering if I should spend more time on Clojure instead, as it seems to be significantly higher in the ratings.



The next version of GHC should improve those numbers significantly, but I would also note that there are much more significant reasons to consider using Haskell than the difference between 37k and 43k req/s.


Yesod was only slightly slower than Clojure with Compojure. Also, an older version of Haskell was used.

I was very surprised that Compojure did not score higher in the rankings. I have several deployed apps with Compojure and it seems very performant.
