I'm actually interested in Haskell now after I learned an interesting crypto startup called Cardano uses it and stakes (pun intended) its success on it. They toute the safety and maintainability for their choice, claiming it's the language of choice for banking institutions (if my memory serves me correctly).
I'm currently a web developer, but the blockchain scene is quite interesting. Especially these new smart contracts look quite easy to play around with.

So is COBOL. Doesn't mean anything, really. Bankers' choices in tech probably has nothing to do with ideological/purity issues in software development.
