I'm realatively new to Haskell but I've been coding pretty intensively
in Ocaml for a number of years.

For new code, there is stuff I would do in C over Haskell/Ocaml; low
level libraries, realtime audio DSP (digital signal processing) and
device drivers. For all of these I would choose C over C++ because C
is a cleaner less cluttered language. As soon as I want to do something
more high level, then I choose a real high level languague like Ocaml
and maybe some day even Haskell.
