Naa ... without wanting to get into a religious war here: Haskell actually provides an imperative "mode" (aka "do-notation"). But I agree about the silver bullet thing ... I am/was a Java developer by trade and have written my fair share of Python and C/C++ code. Haskell just clicked with me after getting over the initial hurdles and is a good fit for the work I do (which is processing about 400kEvents per second from a custom sensor).
