> I don’t believe a lot of commenters who seek out this discussion would give a similarly charitable view of dynamic typing, and in my real life experience, these are people who superficially dismiss projects written in dynamic languages, especially Python, on parochial grounds not rooted in reality.
Fine, but that's a criticism of the people not the language. I'm interested in the latter and not really in the former, unless you're trying to say that they are somehow linked.

I totally agree, and my dissenting opinion of Haskell is not based on anything about people or communities, just on ergonomics of using it and working on a big legacy codebase of it in production.
I mentioned the asymmetry of people who can be zealots about only one paradigm being The One True Way only in response to the parent comment I was responding to.
