If Haskell is so great, why hasn't it taken over the world? (pchiusano.github.io)

I think pure FP is too alien. I mean any programmer expects a language to have for loops and mutation.

That said, I love Haskell and I have endless fun studying and playing with it.


The author’s solution to help haskell take over the world seems to create a clone of it which lives in image-like environment, and breaks every single code management tool we have?

I thought Smalltalk showed everyone that this is not a good idea already?


The answer is, it is not great.
