When I started programming most of the world that I encountered seemed to be written in C++. I don't think Haskell and C++ are hugely different in terms of how long it takes to become proficient in them. The programmers I come across nowadays don't seem to be much different in terms of their ability from those C++ programmers. I think that if Haskell hasn't succeeded then the idea that workers are too dumb (or don't have the time) is not the cause. There are many smart people in industry who know about Haskell but do not find it attractive.
