While I agree regarding correctness and concurrency, I wouldn't emphasize performance, even for Java and .NET, whose GCs are more developed, tuned and tested in the production environment than Haskell's one. Edit: And for Haskell, achieving

Well, maybe not the basic syntax elements of a language, but there are idioms and techniques, some of which are quite language specific (or, are native or naturally expressed in some languages) and learning them will actually make you bette
