So in that case, what's important about your 1MLOC requirement? I can't even begin to imagine that much Haskell code versus a similar line count in say C.

Modern programming languages do not vary in their line-count by too much. If you want to compare to C, you may be able to get a 1 order-of-magnitude reduction in size if you're lucky, but 10MLOC C programs are common (Linux kernel is >15MLOC; MS Office is 30MLOC; LibreOffice is 12.5MLOC), as are 1MLOC programs in more modern programming languages.
