If aren't prepared to argue your point don't expect people to take you seriously. There are no lack of opinions on the Internet nor in the world. If you can't justify your own despite the ever larger resources available to do so chances are you are wrong. The reason why people on HN don't isn't because they don't have to, it's because they can't. That is why they are drawn to places where people agree with them so they can sit and "not understand what is happening" without facing their own ignorance.
I feel like this is a sentiment sort of echoed by it's creators: I believe they've stated that they (paraphrasing here) "don't want haskell to become successful". Not in that they don't want adoption at all, but they don't want to have to support commercial requirements around stability and whatnot that companies usually require.
As such, I think a language that comes along and takes a subset of the best features and learnings from Haskell would be a really great idea. Maybe like a python but for haskell?
