TLDR: After programming in Scala and Haskell for a while, the author has become increasingly nervous and uncertain when programming in dynamic languages like Ruby and Clojure. The author takes his own personal experience with this unpleasant sensation to mean that the era of languages like Ruby, Python, and JavaScript is ending and soon we’ll all be programming happily in Haskell... wait what?

Meanwhile the world continues on as it ever has: individual languages go through their life cycles and change and grow and fade and they each have their own strengths and weaknesses and fans and detractors, and through it all Haskell continues not to catch on.
