Sure, and that's great. Not everyone had a domain where Haskell is appropriate or access to a group of people who can help with maintenence in Haskell.

And some domains are ill-suited to Haskell due to constraints on the VM.

Is any of this a surprise?

> you should avoid it because you can't ship or maintain the kind of deliverables you need to write.

To clarify, you were saying "you should avoid Haskell in the case you can't ship or maintain the kind of deliverables you need to write" and not "you should avoid Haskell because Haskell won't let you write or maintain the kind of deliverables you need to write"...

Right?

Your first interpretation was the one I understood.
Yeah, Luckily I caught myself interpreting it uncharitably and decided to clarify.
