I don't know many programmers who are jumping to use Haskell for their personal projects. What you use at work is usually determined by the surrounding infrastructure but at home you can use whatever you want for productivity and yet most people continue to use their favorite non-functional language. If it's really 10x better and can overcome network effects then shouldn't we see a lot of Haskell personal projects?
