Of course not.

(I'm also starting to believe that these "Haskell is the best thing ever"-kids will become a bigger issue than all those "Haskell is not practical"-naysayers for the growth and success of Haskell.

The latter is annoying, but can cause people to sit down and think how working with Haskell can be made more straight-forward, while the former is blinded by his ideology and is hostile against improvements which could be seen as acknowledgements of existing flaws in the language/ecosystem.)




Haskell isn't the best at everything, but it is practical and that's my point.

Asserting that something is practical based on...well...practical experience is not ideology. It's damn near the opposite.
