jq was originally written in haskell (then rewritten in c, mainly for a small self-contained executable, I believe).
I don't see it as a criticism that haskell is useful as a cradle in this way, just because the project later moves - it would have been much harder to start without haskell (and maybe impossible, without haskell concepts - which TBF could be acquired in other ways).
