Indeed, I have found this to be true as well, and have been trying to
explain it to non-Haskellers. Though I would also rank the memory/space
profiler very high compared to what is available for some other
languages.

And note, it's also easy to integrate with the Python-based buildbot, if
one doesn't want to run Java :)
