>but Haskell is not as practical for use in many use cases Except that is entirely nonsense. Your misconceptions about the languages in question do not imply a particular amount of usage from other people. >the others (scala, clojure) are more general purpose I can't even imagine how one could make such an absurd statement. All that demonstrates is that you have not actually used haskell as you claim, or you only used it 20 years ago. > My assertion is based on what I know all my peers in the industry to be working on Which is ridiculous, just like claiming haskell is more widely used than C by only looking at the financial industry. >This is a horrible* way of assessing industry usage, It is a poor way, but it is infinitely superior to the "cause I said so" method you are employing. Erlang and haskell rate close together in all of them, so it certainly makes no sense to pretend one is more widely used than the other. Clojure rates miles behind both, and it is equally absurd to pretend it is so far behind in every measure but is actually ahead based on nothing.
