Actually, that Haskell developers are hard to hire is one of the biggest myths going. Supply of Haskell developers massively outstrips demand at the moment. In my experience Haskell also neatly address the other two points of people and architecture: the average [0] level of skill of developers in the Haskell community is higher, as is their average level of grit and determination (because of the learning curve). Haskell almost encourages constructing your applications as operations over streams of events (a la event sourcing, unified log etc), which for my money is the best way to think about designing most platform type apps right now. [0] Note: I'm not claiming that all Haskell developers are coding ubermensch, just that the average level of the pool of talent is higher.
