When people talk about the beauty of Haskell due to it’s definition they are making a qualitative claim.
When people say Haskell sucks because of low adoption rate they are making a quantitative claim.
As a research language there is real value in Haskell not getting broad adoption, since that would increase the demands for maintaining backwards compatibility.
As an industry language that philosophy is a huge detriment because it introduces risk and extra costs in keeping up with an ever changing language.
These things are not a one dimensional structure, otherwise Java and C are pure perfection due to adoption and Rust and Haskell should be forcefully shutdown or whatever.
