You're right and Haskell doesn't really deserve more representation. I've built a couple of small web services, a network protocol and a compiler in Haskell, and for those cases it was super suitable, god forbid I'd have to do those things in C++. But definitely, there's a whole bunch of programming languages that would have been as suitable or better for those (except the compiler, Haskell really is the perfect compiler language).
I meant underrepresentation more generally, I appreciated Ruby evangelism back in 2006, when adopting Ruby really improved the lives of web developers. And I appreciate Rust evangelism now, because it improves the lives of zero overhead developers. At some point those languages could be at their "optimal" representation though. And not all representation is fair, I still thing it's insane that people are advocating Rust for web development, but I also think it's insane to use Javascript for backend web development, and here we are with half the industry mired in shit.
