It's more than social reasons. The JVM has technical limitations that ruin idiomatic Haskell. Lack of a mechanism for efficiently and modularly compiling general tail-call elimination.

For instance, if you traverse too long of a list, you'll blow your stack. You can try it and fail yourself with Eta.

FP in Scala has the same issues, but they have some extra utilities to work around it, but it's something you gotta be aware of.
