This was probably my fault at that time, because I surely did something completely wrong for the Haskell style.  However, I fear I could run into problems like that in the new project, too.  So I want to ask for your opinions, do you think Haskell is the right language to do data analysis of this kind?  And do you think it is hard for still beginner Haskell programmer to get this right so Haskell does not use up a lot of memory for thunks or list-overhead or things like that?

Haskell's memory performance can be quite subtle.

Here's my opinion though:  avoiding a language is a terrible way to learn it.  If you want to learn Haskell, do your project in Haskell.
