I should write one of these for Haskell. Huffing abstractions is great for boring, line-of-business applications.
Goroutines? Meh. Software transactional memory and green threads? Heck yeah.
An actual type system? Chef's kiss.
Scott Wlaschin from the F# world has written and talked extensively about F# for "boring" software. It works equally well in Haskell. You don't need to use type-level meta programming to spit out a basic service.
Monads are a great honking idea, btw.
