I've been a mathematician programming in a variety of languages over the last 20 years, and I can say that if it "doesn't really have any great numerical or scientific tooling" then I won't even give it thought number one for doing computations.

And you know, that's totally fair. I'm not a mathematician so my perspective is limited only to producing production software. I'm simply relating my own experience in the hope that people will stop judging Haskell as a "research language" with little to no industrial value.

That's the funny thing about researchers, some seem extremely obstinate (I suppose in many ways that's a required attribute otherwise they might give up). I wonder if this is why we still have Fortran code around...
