I think you have got a very good point in your mail that I overlooked all along ... "Why was Haskell created?" is a question that I havent tried looking for a answer :)

To avoid success at all costs? (No, seriously. The basic idea was that there used to be about two-dozen languages like Haskell, but all developed by different people and all with different syntax and so on. So they wanted to create a single language suitable for teaching to students. You could say it's the Pascal of the functional world... Hey, maybe that explains the lack of success?)
