> an explanation for why Scala and Haskell are both loved and hated I would posit it's unlikely that the same people both love and hate them. My guess would be we're seeing the OO-FP divide in action. If F# or Elm were more popular, they might be on both lists, too. In fact, if you interpret it liberally, JavaScript might be considered FP by some takers of the poll, given browner JS codebases (pre-await) would need continuation-style approaches. Obviously, JS has other [reputation] problems, too.
