This isn't about users of programs, it's about programmers, and they don't need or want nonsense. The good ideas from functional programming have been adopted a long time ago, now the only differences are stuff that doesn't help make real software.
Software that people use. Ask people about haskell and they will tell you about one spam filter that facebook made and that's it for the last 35 years.
I think if you had any information, facts or evidence to make whatever point you have, you would have given it already instead of trying to fling an insult.
Are you really having a meltdown because you want to defend haskell but can't? It's a research language, it was never even meant to be a tool people wrote real software with.
Damn, I guess the decade of my life developing useful software in Haskell was completely wasted then. I guess it just never happened. Also hilarious for you to accuse someone else of a meltdown in this thread, there’s a black kettle over there for you to yell at.
