I've made this comment before, while Haskell has succeeded in terms of inspiring other programming languages, as a language for use itself it's a non-entity. Here's a list of all the popular open source Haskell software: - XMonad - Pandoc - Shellcheck Everything else is just tools for using Haskell (Cabal etc.). Seriously, compare: - Haskell https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+language%3AHaskell&s=stars&type=Repositories https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+langua... - Rust https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+language%3ARust&s=stars&type=Repositories https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+langua... - Dart https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+language%3ADart&s=stars&type=Repositories https://github.com/search?l=&o=desc&q=stars%3A%3E1000+langua... Haskell has been around for a long time. It's not just "avoiding success at all costs," it's a nothing. It inspired good features like Option and Maybe in other languages, but it itself is on the same scale as Dart.
