Go look at the Haskell code dons has written and come back and confirm or cancel your claim. Hint: dons studies Core to get the great performance his code achieves.

People like dons can do amazing work in Haskell. There at 10x or 100x as many people who can't (not without at least a PhD's worth of study at least), but could be productive in Go on a large array of projects they need to do.

/Studied haskell, hung out on #haskell, thinks its awesome, made me a better java programmer, but always gets blocked on showstoppers due to not knowing the incantations and deep type theory needed to structure a program for high performance and debug space leaks.
