I wasn't talking about any particular language. Scala is an interesting example, you have some good software written in it (Kafka, Scalding, Finagle) even with not-so-good IDEs. As for clojure, I have yet to find an environment as good as emacs+cider+nrepl.

My point is quite the opposite: its IDEs are a lot better than you'll find for many languages. On paper Haskell should be a better language than Scala, but you don't see anything comparable to your examples, and I think the tool situation has a lot to do with that. So popularity ends up being very important.
