Can someone explain to me why Haskell will ever be viable as a fullstack language? I have done a few toy projects in Haskell, and it has taught me some great functional programming concepts that I now apply to other languages. But, purely functional programming seems to work 90% the time, but the other 10% is so negative it invalidates the rest.

Edit for clarification: Full Stack would be app server up. So runs a server (some sort of process/thread/worker management), server scripting is in the same language (can auth, process requests, interact with a DB, etc), and build the view (simple JSON/blob response, build html, etc). I exclude client side form this, since most of the X for client-side projects end up transpiling into JS.
