As a counterpoint when wanting to promote any of the "new wave" (even though Haskell isn't new) languages like Haskell, Go, or Rust for certain use cases it's become too common lately for people to dismiss it as evangelism (or indeed, elitism), and that is also unfortunate in my opinion.

I never got a sense of evangelism or elitism from Go advocates

Yeah, they don't need to evangelize it, they just have the critical mass to use it everywhere and the rest of us have to deal with their garbage.
