Haskell might be bad, but its unofficial slogan is "Avoid success at all costs" -- so I don't think lack of fire necessary implies it's shitty (which is I think what you were implying.)

Actually, Simon PJ clarified that it's "avoid success-at-all-costs" and not "avoid success at-all-costs".
I've always interpreted it (and I'm not sure Simon would disagree) as a serious "avoid success-at-all-costs" and a tongue-in-cheek "avoid success at-all-costs".
In any case, it's mostly a joke.
