> Fundamentally, Haskell did not clearly solve any particular problem with other languages. Marketeers have a saying: "Its a lot easier to sell asprin than vitamins." In other words, if someone says "This is giving me headaches" then someone with a solution for that headache will find it a very easy sale. But if your product pitch is that your general health will improve, your immune system boosted, yada yada, that's a much harder sale to make.
