1 word. JVM. the amount of java libs to be tapped is amazing. My experience with haskell libs has been mixed bag.
In the case of clojure, XML parsing, database connection, kicking up a web server, natural language parsing. "There is a Jar for that" OTH, there are situations where we can't use JVM. This is where we fall back to other languages/runtime. Sometimes it's haskell, sometimes it's c/c++, sometimes it's objective-c.
