I am all over the place in here for the exact reason I mentioned. Go look at my posts, for every post about haskell by me, it is in response to someone posting some absurd nonsense like "haskell can't do real world" and "functional programming is great except you can't really do it because state". If people were interested in haskell, they would express interest, not strawman dismissals.
But that is like claiming nobody wants gay marriage because look how loud those Westboro people are screaming.
I'm interested in Haskell. I find it to be frustrating sometimes, and sometimes I vent my frustrations. It is hard to learn. But out of all the opinionated languages out there, Haskell is the one that I agree with the most.
There plenty of people here that are obviously interested. Why does it matter that the naysayers say nay?

That analogy would only be accurate if those Westboro people were in the majority.
>Why does it matter that the naysayers say nay?
I'm not sure how to answer this, given the context. I simply pointed out that I don't think the idea that there's a lot of interest in haskell here is accurate, and cited all the uninformed crap spewed about haskell all the time as evidence.
