Yeah, I'd say that Haskell has done a phenomenal job for most of its history of maintaining a balance between the interests of researchers, commercial programmers, educators, and enthusiasts/hobbyists. At different times, each of these communities has been inconvenienced by decisions made by the Haskell community, but the community has nevertheless been for the most part welcoming to all of them. On the other hand, some of the darkest chapters of the community have involved power plays where one of these groups feels entitled to sideline the others and decides it should be in charge.

By contrast, a typical mainstream programming language might, say, completely neglect one or more of these communities in favor of whatever is best for commercial programmers. Particularly when, like most mainstream languages, it's mainly funded by those interests.
