I don't find this particular argument compelling, because there are other languages (e.g. Python and Golang) that have managed to make their way into the mainstream despite facing the same "we only use Java" challenge that hurts Haskell's adoption.
- dunefox 5y agoYes, Go, the Google language. Very surprising that it became mainstream. In the case of Python: it's imperative and somewhat object oriented and mostly without advanced features which makes it attractive for university courses, for example. Also sometimes languages just become popular, perhaps due to a certain library or sheer luck. That doesn't make it false for languages like Haskell.
