Does Haskell need quick&dirty hackers?
The question isn't "Does Haskell need quick&dirty hackers?" It's "would we get better software (using your favourite metric) if we put Haskell into the hands of quick and dirty hackers?". I think the answer might be yes. Note also that there are many classes of people who fit the "quick and dirty" category. There are people who have busy full time jobs and who might benefit greatly from Haskell if they could get started relatively quickly. There are people whose primary job is not programming but who still need to program (eg. to script their applications). And of course there are people who who are just quick and dirty hackers by nature. -- Dan
