You must have missed the part where it makes 20M revenue per year.

I gotta love hacker news, people who think the fact a backend is written in horrid PHP means it is "already not functional" while they spend their days learning something like Haskell that make them negative revenue per year.

Who knows if that 20m revenue should be 60m? They could be held back greatly by the fact that the developers are not motivated to change anything.

I also don't know Haskell and have no desire to learn it. I prefer to build products in static compiled languages where I can more easily hire developers.
