I'm writing most of my apps in Elixir which is also functional. I got no problems wiring side effects with it despite it being less imperative than some C#/Java/friends. In fact, I'd write high availability apps on Elixir any day over C# or other OOP/imperative lang. I don't ever want to touch any safety-critical systems though, but I do care about correctness of the business logic. Somehow I have zero interest in Microsoft langs/runtimes in general.
That said, Haskell just feels like a different beast. I also don't know how interop would actually work with these different solutions, would feel like unnecessary complexity if anything. Only to end up losing the benefits of Haskell's strong typing.
I've been struggling to justify spending more time & effort on concepts mostly exclusive to Haskell, only to be able to be productive on it. I keep thinking I should brush up my Elixir skills instead.
