Performance Comparison of Functional Programming Languages with C in DEFLATE Compression

A functional programming language (Roc) achieved 8.9% slower DEFLATE compression performance than C's libdeflate on average, demonstrating progress toward C-level efficiency while highlighting remaining gaps in low-level optimization. The study compares Roc's implementation with C's highly optimized library, showing functional languages can approach C performance with targeted optimizations.
