> Haskell even has problems coming up with a single string / text interface.
That's orthogonal to the claim that if everyone used Haskell we'd have better code reuse.

Not a magic bullet, but makes code reuse much easier than any other lanugage.
That can be attributed to a focus on sound abstractions, referential transparency, and laziness[0] mean that code is much easier to reuse.
0: Yes, laziness helps composition and code reuse!
