Once you get over the learning curve, Haskell becomes the best tool for most jobs. The main reason I've _not_ used it is ecosystem (e.g. if Go or something has a library for some API that Haskell doesn't)

For instance, you could make a video game in Haskell. It has SDL2 bindings, plenty of networking libraries, best-in-class support for DSLs (user scripting), and you can even write the music for your game itself in Haskell!
