> I have written some Haskell and I am quite certain, it is more practical for me to use Clojure. Certainly, but there are lots of factors beyond static types vs dynamic types. For real world projects, I might similarly use Python or JavaScript over Haskell because it will be easier to find developers, libraries, and tooling. That doesn't impugn static types, however (on the other hand, depending on the project, Haskell might be the better tool). Indeed, the type system is a relatively small, overemphasized facet of any programming language.
