Sure! I think Haskell would fare pretty well today, because the essential aspects haven't changed. It's still very suitable for prototyping and exploratory programming.

Of course, today it would have to go toe to toe against modern dynamic languages. In this case it'd be essential to demonstrate running code, which is arguably a huge advantage of static typing over dynamic typing; if you're only comparing source code, dynamic languages can get away with being terse and claiming "trust me, it works".

I imagine Haskell would still leave modern C++ coughing dust at the start line :)
