Provably safe at compile time

Is this true? I was under the impression that the Haskell standard didn't formally specify its type semantics. Do works like http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mpj/thih/ "count" (i.e., is it the canonical reason we presume Haskell's type system is provably sound)? Honest question.

So it's a way to call Haskell from Ruby? Where does the Trojan horse come in? Presentations don't work so well with just the slides.

I think the idea is, it's a way to sneak Haskell in to environments that otherwise wouldn't use them.
