Haskell's syntax is weird compared to more popular languages. This is the main reason it's hard.

That said, It's a better choice than Scala for math. However, if the math is numerical algorithms, Python is better than either Haskell or Scala.

I'm not sure why they need to settle on one language. Seems like painting the bike shed. For better or worse, every sufficiently large web system has a number of languages being used behind the scenes.
