Apologies for being hard to parse-- low mental bandwidth..
The purpose of a language is to reduce the complexity (of whatever domains it's applied to) while maintaining the sophistication.
lisp proved itself for building dynamic websites, APL-derivatives for certain slices of finance/banking, python for machine learning,Matlab for engineering simulations. What, to your knowledge, has Haskell similarly done ?
(Fwiw I hope to see the "microsuccess" of pandoc or xmonad scaled.)
Fingers crossed for Bluefin, though it still seems very niche

- gsf_emergency 2y agoDitto for Python. I expect those apps are more painful than for lisps so curry-connoiseurs do it because as ggm says, sunk costs :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42923253 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42923253 I had expected something along the lines of "technical interviews", or more charitably, "transpilers"
