If you stick to Haskell 98 you can:

* Convert your code to Clean (Hacle)
* Debug it (Hat)
* Run it in your browser (ycr2js)
* Document it (Haddock)
* Make a cross platform binary (yhc)
* Get automatic suggestions (Dr Haskell)
...

Sometimes you need a type extension, but if you don't, you do get benefits.

Thanks
