I wouldn't put much stock in tiobe. They change their algorithm regularly
and they apparently did something drastic this month.
As for haskell, I have never seen as many job offers for haskell developers
as I have seen in the last few months. I do think scala is more popular
than haskell in industry, but not by as much as tiobe seems to think at
this particular moment.

I find that Haskell has a very different learning curve from other languages that I use/know/have-tried, in that the basic language itself is very simple and easy to learn and appreciate. However once one starts using a lot of monads and applicatives and other libraries, it can begin to look more like APL.
parser >>= >>> ( \s -> return ( pl' {
P.payloadData = setField pld (Just s) } } ) )
Certainly one can learn to parse and read this, but with all of the new operators and thus syntax not familiar to standard IP language users. (Not a complaint, just an observation from teaching this to students new to FP.)
And in my experience the cabal problems are the "fatal-flaw"; it is not infrequent that I have had to delete all libraries and start over, and I have only very simple usage. I would not want to have a business project that depended on this, as often I have not found a good solution where I could install all the packages I wanted. (Perhaps I just need to learn more about sandboxing techniques.)
I am not a fan of the Scala syntax, but it does seem to be an easier transition because it look-and-feel's more like the typical IPs.
