> I don't care for Haskell for anything remotely related to "work"
Why not? Haskell seems perfect for this task. It has fast, robust and safe concurrency and GHC's IO manager is highly optimized and insanely fast.

Building with vanilla cabal I might have some issues, but professional haskeller's use the tools mentioned above.
cabal update && cabal install stackage
Building project:
1. clone a project, cd into it
2. stackage sandbox init
3. cabal install --only-dependencies
4. cabal configure && cabal build
If you already used some "lts version", you can put "stackage sandbox init lts-2.4" to second command and it will re-use existing lts-2.4 sandbox without a need to reinstall anything.
That's it. It takes a very long time first time you build with this with some version of lts stackage, and there is some movements towards binary package sets, but I'm not sure on status of that.
