"I have a moderate experience with Lisp, very little experience with Haskell and these days mostly program in Java, Julia and Python"

I despise that people give their 2 cents for something they haven't experienced much.

You mean like everyone in this thread who has never written PHP but feels the need to bash it?
Why? You assume that little experience with Haskell is not enough to make conclusions about its productivity. I disagree with this assumption, I think you can sometimes make a moderately confident conclusions from little experience. And I understand I can be wrong of course.
Can you list a few reasons you think Haskell isn't pragmatic?
She can't, given how little experience she have with the language.
It's "he".
Use she to express it as person when I don't know the gender.
Use "s/he" or "they", it's quite weird to address others with "she" in a 95%+ male community.
Better use statistics. Most of the people on HN are male (including gay males).
