now that there's all the rage about agentic coding - & languages don't matter - why r people not migrating to more less error prone languages like Haskell ?
I've had much better experiences with Haskell (well, mostly PureScript for now) than Python, but that might be because I am very hands-on with the design of the core types and abstractions I'm working with.
Having an effect system so that Claude is not tempted to throw in side-effects everywhere helps a lot too!
(For further context, I was comparing essentially vibe code across languages. Vibe-coded Clojure stood out as much less unpalatable than anything else I tried.)

I have no doubt the haskell compiles… but when it comes from an LLM it reads like nonsensical code soup.
Claude-generated Clojure seems a lot better.
