Well, you'd want enlightened fanboyism.

The only language I've seen where developers are less fanboys of it than Haskell is C++.

Try asking one what is wrong with the language.

Haskell feels like a language that's full of great ideas but overall nobody really likes it. Maybe it just needs to simmer for 30 years until someone comes up with whatever Haskell's equivalent of C++'s Rust is.
