I mean, I agree with the notion that a great type system is part of a great language, but the type system is only a small part of the overall whole.
Haskell has a great type system, but it fails miserably at many trivial tasks I care about :
1) sum 1 million integers == stackoverflow (big lul)
2) massive memory cliffs for using the wrong type [1], which is not uncommon
3) poor metaprogramming facilities
4) difficult documentation
