[Shootout-list] Acceptable implementations?

[Peter Hinely]

Hi everyone,

Is the GHC entry for "sieve" in any way a Sieve of Eratosthenes?
I don't understand Haskell. It looks like it's using 'mod', which would
be using hardware division, right?  If so, that's definitely not in the
spirit of the sieve.

And shouldn't the CMUCL entry for "except" should be incrementing the
counters in the catch clauses instead of where it throws the exception?

Same for
  http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/lang/sbcl/except.sbcl.html
It probably doesn't affect the performance, but the test is supposed to be
implemented in the same way as close as possible.

Peter
