Note that you are guilty of most of these charges yourself, most notably from the section "conceit": . won't engage/argue with other positions . makes sweeping claims. . empty statements about a project's success ... When I contested your empty statements about Haskell's success and your sweeping claims, my post was censored and I was banned. I am curious as to why you have changed tack and started trying to justify yourself? Why not just continue to silently ban people? -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e

To quote Simon Peyton-Jones (see the fourth unbolded paragraph in "Computerworld - The A-Z of Programming Languages: Haskell" at http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/261007/-z_programming_languages_hask...); viz.:
What I’m really trying to say is that the fact Haskell hasn’t become a real mainstream programming language, used by millions of developers, has allowed us to become much more nimble, and from a research point of view, that’s great. We have lots of users so we get lots of experience from them. What you want is to have a lot of users but not too many from a research point of view -- hence the avoid success at all costs.
