Hrm, I have found the main benefit of Haskell is that it makes it far easier to reason about code. The separation of side effecting operations from non-side effecting is huge. Also I am very comfortable with monads and have never dug into the theoretical category theory side of it. I bet you could be writing code in the IO monad within a day with some proper guidance. It really isn't hard at all.
