Programming in Haskell requires a radical paradigm shift, so it's not for anyone. I was always intrigued by it, and I started to learn it a few times in the past, on a yearly basis. Now it's that time of the year again, but before I embark in yet another almost-pointless journey, I wanted to analyze the issues I stumbled across last time I read through the countless tutorials and other awesome and free resources online.

There are 8 features to consider when choosing a programming laguage:
20 points -- is is solid? would you write a control program for an aircraft or a pacemaker?
15 points -- can you write a database system (like mysql) in that language, including the deamons?
15 points -- libraries: regex, reading XML, manipulating complex numbers, graphics;
10 points -- active community + books + web pages
10 points -- can write fast IO and easily read complex input and binary input? fancy formatting?
10 points -- can you write web pages;
10 points -- support for OOP?
10 points -- available at least on 2 platforms, Windows and/or Linux and/or Mac.
Rate the language on a scale of 0 to 100. At 75+ you should use it.
