I agree with the author that Haskell's unfamiliar syntax and functional constructs are why it hasn't taken over the world. I also think that Haskell's syntax and functional constructs are precisely why it should though. I also like the fact that Haskell isn't a mega-corp-owned technology, but rather grown by intelligent engineers to do intelligent things in intelligent ways.

I'm not the greatest Haskell programmer, but I love it. I recommend learning the basics of Haskell, if you haven't yet. Doing so improved my code in other languages quite a bit, so it was worth studying for that reason alone.
