I understand the point and I wasn't criticizing Haskell because it isn't just Haskell that has this problem. It was a general observation from my own personal experience working with Haxe, Erlang, and Dart. The tooling for all was mediocre at best in the early days, and all of them gotten better (I lost track of Haxe and Erlang a few years back), but my general observation is that it really isn't enough to come up with a nice language (and all of them were/are nice languages). After the compiler and runtime, the community has to have a laser focus on tooling and bootstrapping because that will be a huge factor in whether the language increases in popularity or not. And we see examples of this all over the place. For example, Rails (and Ruby) become as popular as solely because they were so easy to setup.
