We don’t like to talk about this: but modulo all the usual turf wars around libraries and attribution and where the braces go: serious Haskell people skew smart and capable.
This comes with downsides around dicking around with trying to jam every part of the computation into the type system (not unlike C++ template meta programming).
But net/net, when a GHC contributor rolls up his or her sleeves, they on average have a bigger range than people who argue about ReactJS vs Ember.
Source: worked on one of the biggest production Haskell code bases on Earth, was involved in early design discussions on both React and Ember, and wrote big pieces of an ECMA-262 compiler/VM.
Haskell people skew smarter than most other languages.

Sorry for saying it out loud.
