It depends on  your reason for interest.  A  better question: why should
people interested in  Java be interested in using  Haskell to manipulate
it?

Because  Haskell is  (IMHO)  the best  pure  data manipulation  language
around  (pure data,  not pure  manipulation).  Really,  all code-walkers
should be written in Haskell.
