I imagine this can only ease the process of learning Haskell, and broaden the base of possible Haskellers, as more people on using .NET stuff become familiar with modern typed FP.
Indeed, these days I think the main advantage of Haskell is not the feature set (the same features can be used nicely in Perl (well, nicely for Perl), or not-so-nicely in Python), but rather, the fact that Haskell is *designed* for such things, so it's syntax makes things that are verbose in Perl or Python natural. jcc
