A problem with Haskell and with this is that they are inherently only suitable for batch processing. You cannot build interactive systems that have real-time requirements with these languages because how computation is done is not generally under control of the programmer.

People attempt to program interactive systems with Haskell but then they spend most of their time adapting their program to GHC’s particular evaluation strategy. Usually the optimized program ends up convoluted and nothing like how Haskell code should look, additionally still with no guarantees on the run time.
