>I would love it if a Haskell-like language ended up becoming as widely used as Ruby is today, but I don't think it's going to happen. I've met one or two developers in my life whose eyes don't glaze over when I talk about lambda calculus, algebraic data types, or higher order functions that go beyond mapping over an array-like data structure. Trying to explain monads prompts most people to say they left their oven on and flee the room. You are probably working in the wrong company. I know dozens of colleagues who know what lambda calculus and moands are.
