well said. I do very very imperative things in haskell. Including very very high quality numerical algorithms where i'm writing vectorized math that uses the cpu ports well (the things that let you get instruction level parallelism), the cpu caches well, etc. Basically, I know how to write fast code. Haskell supports writing sophistcated algorithms using these gnarly bits of code i wrote as primops in a really nice way. this code is more imperative than most "web" code ever written ever, and competes favorable with state of the art alternatives written by dedicate experts. Point being, anyone who says haskell can't do IO is an idiot and needs to finish their computer science education, or get one :) (or, get a refund)
