Why isn't Microsoft trying out Haskell? Reading "Coders at Work" I was surprised to learn that research/development of Haskell's GHC is financed almost entirely by Microsoft, yet they aren't using it even for internal purposes as far as I know. And for their own functional language (F#) they picked ML to build on.<p>I wonder why.
