I ended up rewriting it in another language (due to time pressure) and I'm a little wary of attempting to use Haskell again for developing such an application.

Out of curiosity what language did you choose instead?

Some algol-like language purporting to have cross-platform GUI support, widely used by others in our department. I think the name started with "J". I did not enjoy the rewrite. The Haskell code was a lot nicer (and shorter).

May you tell us how much (a percentage) shorter the Haskell code was? Maybe, you can even specify the project size better. Peter.
