No. You are closed-minded. The article explained three reasons why Haskell was chosen, not about converting you to believe in Astrology.
FUNCTIONS IN THE MATHEMATICAL SENSE
TYPE-DRIVEN PROGRAMMING
HASKELL MAKES ILLEGAL STATES UNREPRESENTABLE
This is the tl;dr from the page, where there is nothing about Astrology:
"Haskell is optimized for developer efficiency. You can get a lot done, have a high degree of confidence that it runs reasonably without having to do too much thinking or ass-covering. We move fast & need things to be reliable. Rather than hand optimizing Doom 2 for ___, Haskell is the opposite. The computers serve us. Code is for humans to read, and only incidentally for computers to read. Code is how humans express themselves to each other and computers, and it’s up to computers to run it in a reasonably good way."
