Unless it can be performed with astounding dexterity, I don't think
try to beat, for example, Perl at its own game will produce worthwhile
results.

What, instead, is Haskell's unique selling point? Non-strictness?
Purity? Optional, composable, computation styles (ie, drop-in monads
for non-determinism, continuations, state etc)? Succinct and elegant
syntax? Something else?
