- "Haskell fans seem to delight in making simple problems complex rather than complex problems simple."
Could be an observational bias. I think the silent majority are quietly using the simple, easy parts of Haskell to solve problems in simple ways, and aren't tweeting about it. Because it's boring.

They'll probably never make it big or become famous, and most people will forget about them quickly enough, but they'll have a steady stream of gigs and just about everybody there will be happy enough listening to them in the background and have a good time.
