You can also run Haskell in interpreted mode, so it is actually a viable choice for scripting.

  It's viable, but certainly not designed for that sort of thing like Perl, Python, Powershell, Awk, & Bash. Many of those languages have built in niceties for scripting such as Perl's myriad of command line switches and well, everything about Powershell. They're optimized for shorter programs where Haskell is optimized for helping you write higher quality code.

    Try the turtle library, after using it it would certainly feel for you like it was designed for scripting, it’s such a joy to use!
