Haskell delivers reasonable performance for almost all non-embedded applications, and for the extreme edge cases one can still switch to C or assembly using the FFI.

At the cost of introducing another dimension of complexity (two codebases, two toolchains, need for programmers specialising in two languages). There is a reason why many businesses go to great pains to ensure their codebase is homogeneous (and it's not "managers are dumb"). RW
