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.
