So what killed Haskell is the parochialism, the inability to address the needs of the Enterprise.

I don’t think so. What killed Haskell in mainstream programming is its weird syntax. Rust looks like C so it passed that first sanity check. People hate that something so aesthetically basic could define the success of programming languages, but it seems pretty clear at this point. Languages have to basically look like C in order to be popular.
