Surely you don't think that's how you measure a startup's success, right?

Agility matters, and code size pushes against that.

That said, the other bits are clearly more important: improved customer satisfaction and lower costs have much to do with startup success/failure.

That's not what you said though. You said picking Haskell was "suicidal". Clearly it's not.
