: In addition, saying "90% of all desktop computers" is misleading; instead we should be talking about the computers of software developers and there, the figure is almost certainly well below 90%.
Why? After all, software is always (in one way or another) written for users, not other software developers.
We're talking about Haskell libraries. The *only* people who are interested in Haskell libraries are Haskell developers (ie not even developers in general). Counting desktop users who use nothing more than Word, Excel and IE are not interested in Haskell libraries.
