> That said, is it as convenient to write certain classes of applications in haskell? Certain classes, of course. GPUs, high-performance computing, compile-to-javascript, GUIs- Haskell isn't terrible but there are better alternatives. But usually what people mean when they go on about how Haskell is "mathematical" and "not pragmatic" is that it's worse than C/Java/Python for ordinary general purpose programming: CRUD, web backends, command line tools, etc. And this simply isn't true.
