Not only FPL and not only Haskell, but also descendents of APL such as 
J. Generally also any innovation.

Why are they willing to try out innovations? Because they can assess the 
risk and the probable benefits of trying out another innovation, and 
they can contain that risk. They know how to be prudent without being 
overly conservative.

Why can they assess the risk and the probable benefits of trying out 
another innovation and can contain the risk? Because they can do that of 
almost anything. They are surviving investors. Trying out another 
innovation is just another investment, not unlike trying out another 
stock, another bond, another estate.

Why can the computer security people not do the same? Because they are 
debuggers, not investors.
