I think a lot of this (to quote the Dude) “is just like, your opinion, man”. Haskell is great but it’s not for everybody. It really gets you thinking about software engineering in a different way. I wrote Haskell full time for five years, with some of the best in the industry and I can tell you that there is no real religion. I will admit the language attracts ideologists, theorists and folks who like to pioneer (which I like), but everybody is just trying to make things work - these are patterns that solve problems and guidelines that avoid problems. Now, it’s really hard to take the good parts of Haskell and bring them to a language like JavaScript and have it feel “natural” - especially to someone who isn’t a native Haskell writer! And especially a concept as reliant on higher kinded types as effects!
