I remember this post from a couple of years ago. I also remember thinking that it reflected more poorly on this guy than it did Haskell, and I think it still does today. Additionally, one of the more important criticisms that I actually shared with the OP is that it took me a few evenings to get up and running with Haskell around 2008-2009 on Mac OS X. However that problem has been just about completely solved by the Haskell platform (http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/) these days. Also, recent activity in the Snap and Yesod web frameworks makes me more optimistic for Haskell adoption in industry, although it still has to clear a lot of adoption hurdles before it becomes more common.
