I support this attitude!

Haskell is coming around though. We got Stack which is a fantastic package manager, and we now have a web API library which is pretty much unmatched: http://haskell-servant.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ (each Servant endpoint has a type, and you can generate docs and client libraries from your backend code). Editor tooling has historically been the other problem, but that's starting to come around too.
