I interned at Enthought over this last summer; it's a very cool place. Many of the open-source scientific libraries could be rewritten in Haskell without significant difficulty, and this actually seems like a decent idea.

SciPy and NumPy are the two most significant libraries worth thinking about, in my opinion. Some of the other software, e.g. Traits, is less relevant to scientific software in the context of Haskell.

Much of their stack, especially Traits, TraitsGUI, and application libraries are designed to help write applications quickly without much programming experience. With these tools, it's easy for scientists, without knowing much Python, to write large programs that work well for most of their purposes.
