I imagine a lot of Haskellers would tell you yes. They love an opportunity to tell people who great Haskell is for anything. I'm not saying it's not in this case (I really have no idea) but I'm sure many would.

Haskell is different. If your experience is limited to imperative OO languages, you will learn lots of useful things with Haskell.

That alone justifies going out of your way to learn it.
