Hi, a bit late but here are my comments:
- my main (and in a way ``only'') concern is speed. At some point I'd like my programs to consistently beat the pants off C ... This won't happen soon, but when comparing to C it makes a difference being able to say Haskell is x1.3 slower or x1.4 slower. - BUT performance is required only for the end product, where I would -- in addition -- prefer statically built binaries. Getting other people to install GHC 7.6 (platform is not good enough!) and do the whole installation process won't work. - development is done using cabal-dev, so I am compiling libraries 10-20 times anyway. Once more for dynamic/statis wouldn't matter that much.
