Wow, this thread really exploded! My 2 cents on Haskell, since we're building https://wasp-lang.dev/ https://wasp-lang.dev/ in it and also just hired several founding engineers:
- we're sticking with the "Boring Haskell" manifesto(https://www.snoyman.com/blog/2019/11/boring-haskell-manifesto/ https://www.snoyman.com/blog/2019/11/boring-haskell-manifest...) - using only the widely adopted compiler plugins and not going too crazy with the monad transformer stack, which keeps the code easy for others to contribute to.
- we've hired 2 founding engineers so far - none of them knew Haskell beforehand! But they were both senior engs well versed in different languages and I was surprised with how quickly they picked it up - within the first month they are at 90% productivity.
