What is killing Haskell, according to this discussion

* marketing failure

* lazy by default

* GHC extensions

* its weird syntax

* its obsession with monad-as-burrito tutorials

* pretty hostile haskell-centric spaces

* not backed by a large company

* bad university classes

* tooling

* average developers are not “smart” enough to learn it

* no payback for learning Haskell skills
