Haskell's type system works because of purity, and purity doesn't generally mesh well with performance-oriented applications like game engines. There are some type-driven approaches to gamedev, like https://github.com/jonascarpay/apecs, but it's fairly experimental. There has been some talk about linear types, which would allow Haskell to have controlled impurity similar to Rust, but they're still a ways off.
