Of course, you are wrong ! C is VERY important for almost every programmer in the world!
Hmm. We don't deny that C is important. However importance of hammer does not make screwdriver unimportant. While you can say that you can use screwdriver like a hammer (like you can use Haskell to do imperative programming or vice versa) it is usually terribly inefficient and/or inelegant.
Why cannot C programmer use haskell ?
(S)He can. However (s)he have to redefine him/herself from being C programmer. As real programmer can program in Fortran in any language you can program in any language in Haskell. You just shouldn't (as you shouldn't program in X in Y for nearly any X != Y).
And Why does haskell support C code style ?
And BTW. Haskell have no 'C' style. You probably refer to do syntax sugar which is: - Not really C-style. It have syntax nowhere like C - Only partially in traditional imperative style as it do distinguish still between pure and unpure computation - It can be use for much more then crude C
