Haskell's pretty antiquated and the community's pretty dead compared to what it once was, if not in sheer volume of people then in the amount of competent ones.

- bachmeier 5y agoDownvoted for "Haskell's pretty antiquated" with nothing to support your statement. It reads like you're trolling, and it's hard to come up with a positive interpretation of your comment.
- caslon 5y agoAntiquation is a good thing. I like Haskell just fine; its community has gotten worse. It isn't surprising, as a result, that there have been plenty of impressive things written in it and that there aren't any modern things being written in it that are interesting. All of the good Haskell software has already been written, and everything since has been uninteresting. The language peaked around 2008; nowadays, even the guy who wrote darcs has abandoned the language. It's ripe for a renaissance, in twenty years.
