What makes you think that Haskell is rising in popularity? While this may be the case on sites like HN and Lambda the Ultimate, more broadly Haskell is nowhere. It certainly hasn't come anywhere near anything that could be described as success in the marketplace.
So your example actually supports the author's thesis, not your own.

Interesting to note, in this connection, the rising popularity of Haskell, which is way off at the "Right Thing" end of the spectrum.
Maybe it is really possible to come up with the Right Thing eventually -- it just takes a lot of research.
