Smart contracts are foot guns and so they are an interesting case for formal verification and advanced static typing people. They usually like Haskell. I like formal verification but not blockchain, however , the jobs are there. Saving actual lives with formal methods is not worth the money, so we prove Ponzi schemes to be correct. A little over the top, sorry, but it is hurting just a tad that chemo delivery devices have less rigid software than something that is marketed as an everyone wins lottery type of thing.

Yes, to add to this, it was an opportune time at the beginning of a new sector with no legacy code. I've read that iOS Apps benefited in a similar way in security over Mac OS; there was an opportunity to start fresh without backward compatibility requirements.

I wouldn't be surprised if a huge factor is just marketing. Most crypto products are only built to be sold to some investor. And saying it's all built on Haskell probably sells better than saying it's a bog standard typescript program.
