I am working on a commercial SAAS application written in Haskell. I have been programming computers since 1980, with solid experience in at least a couple dozen programming languages. I chose Haskell for this project because of its programmer productivity and runtime performance. I have not been disappointed. I am always amazed at how little code it takes to get things done. The Achilles Heel of too many languages and their implementations is concurrency support. Haskell had that problem licked ten years ago. Once my code compiles, I know it has few remaining bugs. It runs fast and there are enough good third party libraries to meet my needs.

So what's not to like about Haskell? It has a brutal learning curve. Not so much because it is hard, but because it is different.
