All those points along with the parents apply to Haskell too. Yet Haskell does not enjoy the same hype/success.


I think you'll find some people who wouldn't say that Haskell is overall simple, or at least as simple as Go can be.

You'll also find some people who say the opposite. We need to qualify what kind of simple we are talking about? Are we talking purely about language?

Are we talking about standard libraries? Ease of use of API's? Ease of use in analyzing performance?

If we just compare Go's syntax to Haskell's syntax you'll find they both have few reserved words.
