Functional programming beyond Haskell

We have all learned functional programming in Haskell, but there are more functional languages like Lisp, Scheme, ML, and Clean.

Why should we even bother to look further than Haskell?

- You want your programs to run faster.
- Monads drive you mad (what are they anyway? warm fuzzy things?).
- You need objects.
- You sometimes need a more powerful module system.

Is there another runtime for that language? If not, then it's effectively a limitation of the language.

And having separate modules for big arrays is really retarded and ad hoc, it's like some primitive negroid tribe that has numbers "one", "two" and "many".
