Hear, hear. I already have a general-purpose programming language that allows me to do most things relatively trivially. I want to know why I should add Haskell to my toolbox, not replace my perfectly good hammer with it. For instance, I learneda while back that stable, asynchronous, distributed networking applications are made trivial by the likes of Erlang. That's a good reason to learn that type of language. Haskell seems like a nice language, but I'm not yet convinced it is worthy of a slot.
