I totally agree, and my dissenting opinion of Haskell is not based on anything about people or communities, just on ergonomics of using it and working on a big legacy codebase of it in production.

I mentioned the asymmetry of people who can be zealots about only one paradigm being The One True Way only in response to the parent comment I was responding to.
