[Haskell-cafe] Getting Haskell in the top 20

[Alberto G. Corona]

{"irony" : "on"}

Haskell as a mainstream language.. what a scandal.... Lots of people using
their own EDSLs without passing trough the initiatory cult of Category
Theory. To have the benefits without the sacrifices, Tools without
religion, fire without Prometeus .... Can you imagine something more unjust
and vulgar?

We don´t want the success of the haskell language in Industry. We want our
own success and to be admired in the distance.
