Vote here for Haskell, which receives great hate on HN because it allows essentially unlimited abstraction. Meanwhile it has one of the fastest concurrent+GC runtimes, obliterating Ocaml in this regard, and competing handily with JVM or CLR langs. Finally, it has standard abstractions for concurrency and parallelism that are basically flawless. Clearly, the hate comes from the association of Haskell with category theory, which is frankly useless/borderline harmful to the working Haskell programmer. CT was critical to core library devs being able to deliver the main workaday abstractions that make Haskell such an unreasonably productive app languages. But since 2012 you can simply use these main abstractions and enjoy a level of safety and maintainability that rust, c++, ocaml, kotlin, java can't touch. It's not perfect, but there's been huge improvements of late to tooling (cabal) so there's never been a better time. I really wish the tide could turn, because if you're willing to take on rust for low-level, you're missing out if you don't try haskell for everything else server-side.
