I don't think this kind of thing really needs to be engaged with. Let such commenters stew in their own juice. Pushing back only adds flames to the fire.
Thanks though for helping my point. No argument that counters my post but an ad hominem attack [1]. The state of our industry in 2020.
If you disagree with my point of
"Haskell didn't solve a real problem."
you could have a counter argument. Like "From my experience many companies struggle with X, which is essential to their development effort. Haskell does solve X nicely, a magnitude better than competing efforts like A, B and C from working with Haskell in a larger company and B in a startup. My opinion that companies do not use Haskell though is not that it doesn't solve a real problem - as shown above - but because of S and T".
Or you could downvote
"Haskell didn't solve a real problem."
[1] I like to be labeled "such commenters" - though I would prefer "such people", it's meaner and has more punch. So if you go ad hominem, go right for it.
