I have used Haskell as a main language 7 or 8 years. I changed for (in no particular order): 1. macros and all the lispy meta things. 2. Clojure classification of stateful things 3. JVM, but with enough independance 4. A part of my research is on type systems more souple than ML's or Haskell's. The program in my mind can't be typed in Haskell. Waiting for the perfect static type system, as expressive as a dynamic one, I'd rather use a dynamic type system. 5. Haskell makes it difficult to have the write something and refactor until its perfect. You have to think it perfect and then write it. This is fun too, but difficult depending on what you do.
