Well a module is still just a hunk of the kernel and for best results, long-
term, it should be every modules goal to get integrated into the kernel
proper. Therefore its counter productive to use any language other than the C
version that is acceptable by the kernel folks.

Now the haskell thing is a interesting experiment and as such it does not
make sense to be constrained by conventions.. But it may make some change to
the status quo if something is learned from it. So it's neat.
