I believe it has an impact on my business' bottom-line. Saving money in business is a merit.

That… was an odd take. I'm not sure what gave you the impression that I would be bitter about Clojure growing in popularity (not that I think it is, anyway). I have nothing invested in Clojure not being a popular language, and the idea that Haskell has stagnated is a little hilarious.

Again, I have never denied Clojure's merits. My position is pretty simple — I have found it cheaper to build Internet software businesses with Haskell than with Clojure.
