And if the piano were an instrument almost nobody used and on which almost no popular or well-regarded music were played or composed, I&#x27;d agree with this snarky reply. This isn&#x27;t a particularly apt analogy because concert pianists are judged by their output (i.e. piano music). The argument from the Haskell community seems to be that almost nobody is interested in using the tool (Haskell) for its intended purpose (writing software) because the people themselves are deficient. Haskell is a character-building exercise to write blog posts about, even after all these years, rather than something to be adopted in production.<p>And before you think I&#x27;m just hating on Haskell, the same is essentially true of Lisp as well.
