"Haskell in its time was at the forefront of functional programming. It was the language that kind of characterized or epitomized what FP was really about. There were other languages that were functional, but they were only sort of functional. And of course, I'm talking about languages like Scala, or JavaScript. Those were the two major competitors during the same mid 2000s." I guess this guy has never heard of OCaml or SML. Though Haskell was a leader in the FP field, it was never the only language to epitomize FP.
