Just to clarify,  I mean: Haskell may be seriously addictive.  Sounds like a joke, but it is not.  I do not recommend it for coding something quick and dirty.

I use it for quick and dirty stuff all the time, mainly because what I want is often something that can be broken down into stages of processing, and pure functions are really nice for that. 

If I know the input is coming from a reliable enough stream (like a unix pipe to stdin) I can use functions like "interact" to create filters, or parse some input, and produce some output.

It's pretty nice.

As already noted here, Haskell is a general purpose language, but you should
take it with a grain of salt.
For instance, you can nail with a laptop (provided that you hit the place
where a HDD is located), but you prefer a hammer :)
One thing is if you do it only for enjoyment, in this case you can even
develop 3D shooter game in Haskell, but when it comes to production/real
world use, I think it is better to maintain "right tool for the right job"
attitude.
