Haskell is a young language, and the vast majority (99%+) of programmers have not learned functional programming.
Another observation is that the programming industry does not care about correctness or writing stable software, since they have no liability for broken shit. There isn’t a strong push for writing consumer software that isn’t riddled with bugs.
PL1 is approximately 54, and it was put together to cover the application domains of 2 previous language successes, Fortran and COBOL, which still live. Fortran is more than twice 30 years old, BASIC approximately 53, RPG 59.
Haskell is the youngest language that isn’t derivative.Monads for IO weren’t being seriously used until the late 90s. All the imperative C derivative languages are much older.
A very young language that is (to my knowledge) not derivative of older ones unless you count Excel: https://www.luna-lang.org
It comes with C, JS, and Haskell interoperability, and it's implemented in Haskell, but the heart of the language is its visual representation. I have personally never seen anything like it before.
Some devs prefer being woken up on their on-call duty to fix a Javascript bug that could've been caught by GHC. It only makes sense when you put on the business hat, e.g. the big pro is that they are first to market, etc.
Ignore the GDPR and continue to operate. You have nothing to lose. Only worry about compliance if a regulator contacts you, which is not likely to happen.
You’re not complying with numerous other regulations like business registration, tax licenses, etc. The reality is all small businesses have to ignore compliance to get off the ground.
Don’t listen to others trying to scare you over nothing. It’s a matter of perspective.
