Haskell is already too much for practical work?

No.

I use it as my main scripting language.

Have you tried ocaml. Haskell keeps moving, takes much longer to get to grips with, and most users don't use all it's features (which keep growing). Meanwhile you can get your head around all of ocaml pretty easily and it gives you no surprises. Ocaml is for coders, haskell's for grad students.
I haven't tried it, but sounds like I should :)
Yea, along with prolog, it's one of the hidden pearls of programming
