Do you have any thoughts on Elixir? I've been playing around with it and Haskell at the same time. Compared to Haskell, Elixir's dynamic type system and impurity make it a lot more practical to get stuff done, in my experience.

I'm just like you. I use Elixir for anything serious and Haskell for personal or small scale projects.

The way I see it is that Haskell abstracts away the runtime considerations. You spend the majority of your time modeling your business domain in Haskell. Or rather, retrofitting your business model into Haskell's type system.

In Elixir, in contrast, you spend the majority of your time building systems, in other words on runtime problems. All the tooling and even the whole OTP revolves around this. For anything that runs on the web, this is a major benefit compared to Haskell.
