Haskell, on the other hand, has a small enough volume that people can at least skim the ones from the last past day or two in a fairly small amount of time.
They can and, in fact, do. Or at least I do, at any rate, even when I don't really have time to answer any. And I suspect Don Stewart does as well since by himself he's something like 20% of the answers by volume. Suffice it to say, questions with the [haskell] tag don't get overlooked. Overall, based on my experiences and glancing at the question lists, I'd estimate that most questions tagged [haskell] get at least 50 views and at least one useful answer within a few hours of being posted, depending on time of day and how many of the more prolific answerers are around. There're maybe 25 questions with no answers at all, which is less than 1% of the questions in the tag, and of the unanswered questions many are either very poorly thought out, very difficult to answer, or highly specific to some tool or library that not everyone may be familiar with. - C.
