Both are designed for GUI and web programming, so they don't fare well for massive concurrency, high-performance numerics or allocation-intensive algorithms (e.g. idiomatic functional programming).

C# 3.0 gets it a bit closer, though. I wonder what C# 4.0 will look like, though I worry about the complexity of the language when they keep tacking stuff on like that.

The thing that I *like* about Haskell is that it manages to be very powerful, and yet elegently simple. :-D (...and then they add MPTCs, GADTs, ATs, ETs, Rank-N polymorphism, FDs...)
