Bang and StrictData are fine locally but things get enormously worse when that data flows into deeply-layered libraries that I don't own.

Seriously, how is this good for my sanity or career?

These algorithms run for hours and lazy eval was an engineering disaster. Our team had experienced Haskell developers who fought complicated space leaks night and day. 0/10 would not recommend.
