Another FP post, another pron comment passive-aggressively delegitimizing Haskell due to lack of empirical evidence :eyeroll:

  This is Java post, and by no means am I delegitimizing Haskell. It is a perfectly fine programming language that is suitable for use in production, but unfortunately, it suffers from a problematic culture.

    > [Haskell] suffers from a problematic culture Perhaps, as you claim above for Java, there is no one Haskell culture. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22847925 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22847925

      100% this. Saying "Haskell suffers from a problematic culture" is a silly generalization on the face of it. Idk what Haskellers this person met who rubbed them the wrong way, yeesh!

      Oh, of course there isn't. But being roughly 0.1% the size of Java's user population, you really can't escape any of the Haskell's community cultures.
