Ah, the secret of Haskell is to make low-level-looking code run slower than high level code so that people write high-level code.
The secret of programming is to know which tools to use for which job. If you're writing device drivers in Visual Basic, you've made a strategic misstep and need to re-evaluate.
That sounds like a challenge.
Well they've been written in both Haskell[1], and C#[2], so VB might not be out of the realm of possibility (in fact, I think any language that compiles to CIL is fine for [2])!
