I'm talking about all libraries and books written since it's development up until the early 10s; and of all those teams, libraries, and code which are legacy.

Haskell has never had a decades-long history of 'compiler-oriented programming', ie., excessive declarations, and so on.

The idea that C++ has a haskellish culture is patently absurd, even if the vanguard regard itself as presenting tending toward that direction.

I am in no way implying that "C++ has a haskellish culture". Neither I would consider it of any advantage. All I said is that modern C++ programmers have no problems using the concepts. There is plenty of those that are used in gobbles of libraries as well. Sure old libraries do not have it but so what?
