That same industry which embraced PHP and JavaScript? Is that an authority, on what?
Also, the industry hasn't rejected Haskell, it has just been learning from it very slowly. My prediction is this trend will consistently continue at the same glacial speed.

Apparently they wanted syntax with braces and semicolons. Someone else pointed out elsethread that maybe it's not the syntax, but the semantics, that is being rejected here.
- taktoa 5y agoNix syntax has braces and semicolons... the only similarity to haskell is in using juxtaposition for function application (though this is technically optional; nothing is stopping you from typing f(x))
