Without support for at least extensible records and better GUI integration, you'd have a hard time convincing me to use Haskell for enterprise applications (and I use Haskell every day). It's not that Haskell isn't a fine language, it's just that doesn't have sufficient advantage on the state-of-practice that would counter balance its position as a marginal language. There are good reasons why enterprise development is conservative, state-of-the-art languages like Haskell or Erlang excel in domains where they can be disruptive. Best wishes Stephen
