Now I don't know Haskell particularly well but I have found another language I'm focusing on, that people basically have the same question about.
For me, the quest is to be able to build more with less effort, with less bugs and make things more maintainable for the future. For this, I've found Clojure (of the 10+ languages I've professionally worked in) to be the best one, but like all the rest of the languages, it doesn't fit every single use case. But most of them, so far at least.
I could go on and on giving you arguments for/against, but I think these goals are the same for most programmers who aim to learn/use some of the lesser known languages.
