What I liked about this article is that rather than being a complete sales pitch it mentions the cons about adopting a language that is not used at mass scale. The biggest one being the ability to find and hire talent. They get around this challenge by being willing to train, which is reasonable. And refreshing to not see that real challenge swept under the carpet.
I've always thought that hiring i.e. haskell developers would be easier than for more widely used languages like java and python as I've assumed that the talent-to-jobs ratio would be a lot higher. I actually have no idea though.
