As much as I would love to use Haskell professionally, I always wonder if teams/projects using Haskell don't also struggle with all the sociology involved in developing software ..

Sure, being able to use Applicative reduces lots of code duplication, brings in better clarity and all .. but what if the product owner still remains a jerk without a vision?

In all the teams I have been so far, I can honestly say that the _language_ itself was never _the_ problem. It was always a combination of communication, skill or product vision.

The only thing I can imagine is that by choosing Haskell you tend to get better skilled developers - so only communication and product vision remain that could ruin your project/product.

Any thoughts?
