No, it's about as unhelpful an answer as you can get. Why would you even bother?

Would you answer him the same way in person if he came to a Haskell meetup?

This is not really about the Haskell language, but rather the GHC compiler and runtime that implement the language.

What the GHC runtime does is somewhat comparable to what Node.js does.
