My opinion is not allegedly subjective, it is subjective. I don’t expect anyone to do anything with the comments I write. They don’t prove anything, but someone may find it useful to hear that a person with experience decided to have a dissenting opinion of Haskell in practice. I will say, however, that just as I mentioned in my comment, I’m willing to say static typing is fine. There are lots of tools in a toolbox. It is one of them. I don’t believe a lot of commenters who seek out this discussion would give a similarly charitable view of dynamic typing, and in my real life experience, these are people who superficially dismiss projects written in dynamic languages, especially Python, on parochial grounds not rooted in reality. In other words, I see a lot of people in the Python community in real life saying, “Haskell is cool, you can do expressive things in it, but it makes certain other things hard and so for a wide range of tradeoffs I wouldn’t pick it.” But I see people in Scala, Haskell, Clojure, F# etc., communities saying, “Python is crap, so unsafe, so many bugs, it’s just a categorically wrong way to design and write programs.” So the discussion is (in my experience) extremely asymmetrical along these programming religion lines.
