> Uugggghhh… “maintainable way” is again super subjective.

It's not "super subjective" when something super niche like Haskell[1] is chosen.

There are pragmatic reasons to choose a tech stack, the biggest of which is "can we find people to maintain it?". If you cannot, then it's unmaintainable.

[1] That's the example that was chosen upthread.



You know there are entire companies using Haskell in production successfully and have been for years, right?


The number of companies using boring old Java, C#, C++ dwarfs your number by several orders of magnitude.


So that's proof that you should never deviate? Hegemony always wins?
