  >> Programmers have been looking at Haskell for 25 years and rejecting it. > I really don't know why you think that true: Because it doesn't show up any any metric as having significant usage. A list of 100 companies using it doesn't make the hundreds of millions of other companies not using it go away.

    Your argumentation is just completely wrong, you think that "significant usage" is some kind of "quality". You try to argue that a hammer and a screwdriver are of significant usage, when i fact the best tool for the job is a scalpel. FWI HN was not written in JavaScript or PHP but you can lookup that for yourself.

      > Your argumentation is just completely wrong, you think that "significant usage" is some kind of "quality". Nowhere did I claim that - you're reading things I did not say. Claiming that something is rejected by everyone does not make any statement on the quality of that thing. [EDIT: It's kinda common knowledge that Haskell is barely used in industry. I cannot remember coming across a single non-academic programmer in the workplace who actually wanted to use it, other than myself]

          >> rejected by everyone > It should be clear now, that this is a wrong statement. You're correct - it's rejected by roughly 999 out of every thousand programmers.
