If you don't know what program you want from the start, it's yet another reason to write in Haskell.

Haskell programs are much easier to change than any dynamically type language. Each time you change your mind in Python, you have to basically rewrite your entire program, and if done often enough (what 2 or 3 times are already enough) you will still get a mess on the end because of all the changes.
