That makes sense. I wish he'd stop writing obviously linkbait titles like "Haskell is Exceptionally Unsafe" when what he means is that there are some really obscure safety implications for typeable exceptions. I completely agree with bjterry that it has probably caused more people to not look at Haskell to begin with, than people to look at ML.

There was certainly a time that incendiary, link-Barry titles were useful for, say, getting Haskell's exception system to be more safe (which he absolutely played a part in). As the audience of his posts widens though it's clear that the impact of those posts is changing.
