I've often though quite a few languages could be shrunken down fit with
Plan9's diretory/files system. Python, for instance, would need much
less code for networking etc.
So a language that specialsed in I/O primitives would be a good choice.
That doesn't sound like Haskell to me. I/O is about changing state. That
said, there must be a way to make it fit :)
Of the few I have used, I think python is the best hybrid that fits.
