> Why are there so very few programs written in say, haskell, that you actually want to use? I think a big part of it was struggling with cabal hell. I know that quite a bit of web development and API stuff is happening with Haskell since I've gotten paid to do some for multiple clients (some requesting Haskell). I think that with the release of stack[0] (and it eventually being merged into the Haskell platform IIRC) many application developers will start to pick up Haskell and create those types of programs. Not open source, but an application created in Haskell was bump[1]. 0: https://github.com/commercialhaskell/stack 1: https://www.fpcomplete.com/wp-content/uploads/Bump-case-stud...
