As well as

    I am a $language programmer. <link>Why should I use Haskell?</link>

perhaps also things like

    I'm designing a programming course for undergraduates at a
    university. <link>Why should I use Haskell?</link>

    I run a small company. <link>Why should my developers use
    Haskell?</link>

(but probably all with better wordings)
