A comment on Standardized Ladder of Functional Programming [pdf]. Parent comment
Low cost of adoption + clear minor tooling benefits is usually enough evidence to adopt Java/C# style static types.
Haskell style static typing has a very high cost of adoption and so must conclusively show a strong benefit in order to be adopted by industry.
At the moment I feel Haskell companies can get away with using Haskell because PL enthusiasts are willing to absorb the training costs.
