I'm after Erlang in Haskell, if you will, for fault-tolerance and scalability.

I think the way to do Erlang in Haskell is to build a middleware layer on top of the language, not try to make the language into something it is not. In this kind of environment you need to be able to upgrade components while the system is running. The careful Haskell habit of separating stateful operations from pure functions is useful here. I gather that the HAppS project is working along similar lines, and for similar reasons. Take a look at it. http://happs.org/HAppS/README.html Paul.
