Did you ever use Haskell? Those issues are far worse in Haskell than in Scala.

You just hear more people complaining about Scala, because it is used, while Haskell projects are usually not developed and maintained anymore after the author finishes his PhD.

I've used both, if anything Haskell is a little faster.

FUD. This is simply not true.

Thank you for attacking that misconception. Haskell is, at this point, a very practical language, and becoming increasingly that way over time as it proves to have the best enforcement model for the functional style among the options out there. For good and bad, we're not in the 1990s anymore.

That gave me a good chuckle.
