This article reminds of my coworker, touts Haskell all the time, ends up writing shitty Java code which is difficult to understand and performs like molasses.

Real world is not perfect, it is immutable with plenty of side effects. Using Haskell for day to day messy work is not trivial and should not be considered IMO, u nless you have Haskell gurus all around.

I would rather take a dumb language like Go or Java over Haskell for work code.

Perhaps we should use a language that is immutable and can reason about side-effects. Like Haskell?
