At work we use a Haskell DLL loaded into Matlab. Haskell&#x27;s type system allows us to have a fast, formal core to depend on, and Matlab allows us to do ad-hoc things at run-time with a fairly powerful REPL.<p>I mention this because there are ways to benefit from Haskell while still maintaining the sorts of &quot;practical benefits&quot; that are cited here.
