Go is mostly used PHP, JavaScript, Python, Ruby etc, developers today.

Go is absolutely preferred by people building real solutions to real problems. Pure, idealized languages like Haskell seem to be preferred by people who don't actually do anything with it, but instead talk about it. It is the "big brother" language.

I don't mean this dismissively, though it invariably sounds that way, but there is a huge divide between things that actually get things done, and things that you can debate the intricacies of for weeks on end while you foment that grand plan that you'll never actually pursue.

Though I will add that your nonsensical, ignorant simplification and mischaracterization of Go merely belies the fact that you have virtually no real knowledge of it at all, beyond probably some rubbed off "knowledge" from advocacy boards.

Please stop, you're making yourself look stupid. Plenty of people create real solutions to real problems in Haskell every single day.

Unsurprisingly, you and frowaway both average less than 2 on your comments.
You understand the difference between being right and being popular?

Because you like fancy numbers, let's assume you probably rate a 7 on being butthurt.

FWIW, that is the argument that people living in bubbles of ignorance use to justify their positions. Everyone else is just wrong.

Be sure to log into your alt now. I have a feeling you go through accounts to evade hellbannings.

I guess 7 is way too low. :-)
