Yes, that's the line I remember (and read the explanation that Haskell is comfy with being niche). What other interpretation do you think is intended with this sentence? (to me it looks very un-ambiguous, more like deliberately un-ambitious) Edit: I think I read this explanation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12056169#:~:text=haskell-lang.org-,The%20Haskell%20motto%20is%20%22avoid%20success%20at%20all%20costs%22%2C,%2C%20restricting%20research%20possibilities%2C%20etc https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12056169#:~:text=haskel....
