This is such a trite criticism. This post isn't evangelizing the language, its describing coding styles of different haskell engineers using a simple toy problem (that happens to be a canonical algorithm for teaching recursion and FP) to make it somewhat comprehensible to a layman.

Every time I read a comment like this it reminds me how much fashion and an unsubstantiated cult of "viable for production" publicity steers the industry instead of curiosity and experimentation.
