I don't think this is a good philosophy to follow. Javascript for example was a terrible language. It's better now because they modified it and most people use typescript... but it was shit starting out and it's initially popularity had nothing to do with how well it worked.

I will say that haskell does solve many of the problems we face in software engineering today including coding ourselves into a corner. The problem is the paradigm is extremely hard and that's what hampers its success.
