I'm not sure Haskell's type system is sophisticated enough to be relied on to prevent the kinds of problems The DAO ran into. As I understand it, one of the bugs boils down to recursive calls between two side-effecting functions, which seems like it would probably be just as possible in a parallel-universe Ethereum based on Haskell.

Hmm, so the DSL needs to enforce some kind of contract and limit scheme, like that Ada dialect that the aerospace guys occasionally bring up. I bet they have decades of research that the next DAO project devs should familiarise themselves with.
