I look at it this way: Every person who adds Haskell, however shallowly, to their repertoire acts as an example that may spur others to learn Haskell, perhaps deeply. And that is a win not because of language chauvinism, but because of concept chauvinism. I hope that a future "Next Big Popular Language" has most of the concepts that make Haskell interesting.
I'm sure this will happen, I even suspect, this already happened, but a language can become popular only if enough legacy of several languages and the problematic parts of Haskell 98 are included. :-)
