Doubtless. I think if they're casting about for excuses not to use 
Haskell, they're unlucky not to have hit on time/space issues. Anyway, 
I've rewritten it for them:

    "Purely functional languages like Haskell are excellent to write
    in, but non-trivial work is involved with implementing a lazy
    language in a strict run-time environment. ..."
