Say it with me: right tool for the right job. Not every language should try to solve every problem. And not every problem is nicely solvable in every language.

By your definitions any language other than what, C and js is "unpopular" and "Rejected by the industry" ?

By your definitions any language other than what, C and js is "unpopular" and "Rejected by the industry" ? I literally claimed otherwise, elsethread > It's a reflection of what the programmers want. Apparently they wanted syntax with braces and semicolons. Javascript, C, C++, C#, Python and Java have seen and are still seeing heavy use in the industry. Go has gotten traction too, now. Any language that can be seen on a common metric to be more than low single-digits (and, in some cases, fractions) of a percentage can be safely said to be "used in industry". I cannot think of any survey amongst programmers which shows Haskell usage outside of 1%-3%.
