Around 7:50 in Jones says this:

“So, one of the great things about Haskell actually, that is spoken about and I think it’s the sort of killer app for Haskell, is that it’s so refactorable, right? You can do a heart or lung transplant on GHC and make truly major changes and the type checker just guides you to do all the right things.”

Freely refactoring the code with worrying about unit tests, etc seems quite appealing.

To summarize the killer app for Haskell is that “it’s so refactorable”
