That may well be true. I do have some other constraints, though. For example, does Haskell have a well-supported GUI library that works on Windows and talks to OpenGL?

Haskell requires bending your brain in ways that are often uncomfortable to non-mathematicians. I, personally, use Python, which strikes a balance between race avoidance and library support. I meant more to argue that race conditions are language-dependent than to recommend Haskell as a perfect programming language for any purpose.
