I say, citation needed. Who said "Haskell does it perfectly"?

Not to mention the mental overhead of Haskell (which is also not optimal).

Yeah, what the fuck? Most software engineers just want to get shit done quickly so they can go home to their wife and kids.
If you think this merits a downvote please tell why. Excuse my french.
