I do not have a satisfactory answer for this. But, nevertheless I want to use it. Why can't I use it? I can't get my friends on board. Have they tried Haskell and seen that it doesn't work? No. Have I had success with it? Yes. Why is there so much distrust of Haskell exactly? "Nobody else uses it. It's weird and hard." I can extrapolate this battle to one with business people with money on the line and see it falling flat a lot. But perhaps Haskell is fundamentally ill suited to applications. I hope not. Other possibilities: A language's success may be more sociological than technical, Business factors dominate, success is totally random, who got there first, holdover opinions from eras of more constrained computational resources.
