- The Haskell ecosystem doesn't have the budget of languages like Java or C# to build its tooling.
- The haskell ecosystem was innovative 20 years ago, but some newer languages like Rust or Elm have much better ergonomics due to learning from their forebearers.
Yes, it's true. And it's true for almost any smaller language out there.
If you boil down my comments, sure, you could say that. But, that's why I didn't boil down my comments and used more words, because ultimately, it doesn't say that.
The thread is "Why Haskell?", I'm offering a counterpoint based on experience. YMMV and that's fine.
Counterpoint: Elixir. While it sits on top of industrial-grade Erlang VM, the language itself produced a huge ecosystem of pragmatic and useful tools and libraries.
