I'm curious, what languages do you consider impractical?

Assuming practical is some kind of bar for "I'd use this at a company where I'd be deploying the project into some kind of online production" - there are a number of experimental/research languages that are better for offline research/analysis and don't have the ecosystem Haskell has.
I'm not going to mention them by name because if you don't know of them, then it doesn't matter and I don't want to slur them.
