The benefits of FP are typically described as "the more functional your program is, the better", and Haskell is the most functional turing complete language you can get.

Most other functional languages don't enforce immutability to the degree Haskell does. So if you are trying to show off how pure and side effect free your code is...


They didn't suddenly stop being functional programming languages.
