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.

There's a reason the STM monad hatched in Haskell: how does the above STM in F# handle side-effects like launchMissile ?

If you read the comments at the bottom, it seems it does not. Expect an arbitrary number of missiles (although the final effect of destroying the target city will perhaps be the same).

That's only because launchMissile is idempotent. -Brent
