After reading some wiki pages of haskell, it is not clear to what area haskell is really good for. One strong point seems to be a testbed for trying new languages. But this seems to be the case for other functional languages as well.
Is there an application area in which haskell is much stronger than other different languages?
Difficult to say, since Haskell wants to be a general purpose language. Haskell is strong in writing correct software. Thus you might phrase it like: Haskell is strong in applications where correctness counts.
