Haskell's main problem is that it is over-zealous, and built on axioms that make it a poor fit for real people writing real code. Everything else flows from that core issue. Functional purity and lazy evaluation are interesting, but when you can't toss a printf debug or log statement into a function without changing function signatures all the way up, it's not going to be popular.

Pragmatic, sloppy languages will always be more popular, because they are more forgiving.
