Are lazy languages faster than eager languages? My intuition says that a lazy language would be a lot faster than an eager language simply because the eager language evaluates all of its arguements regardless of whether they are all needed by the function. The lazy language, by evaluating only what is necessary, appears to save time. **************************************************************************** David E.
