I would love to see this! One of the fundamental issues I have with functional languages is every example I see is basically "See this thing that's relatively simple and uncomplicated in Ruby/PHP/C/whatever? Here's how to do that in Haskell!" And the Haskell version ends up being extremely unintuitive and complicated. Bottom line is I still don't know for which situations functional languages are a "good" tool.
