Is it just me or was the high-water mark for interest in Haskell & FP in general around 2016-2017 ?
There was lots of discussion & debate around static vs dynamic, clojure vs haskell, oop vs fp, new languages vs established languages, conferences devoted to FP ideas, etc...
The whole debate ecosystem seems to have subsided around when rust really started taking mindshare. Now, I'm not implying here rust absolves these issues at all. It's just a co-occuring event on the timeline imho.
Although, I think it's probably obvious that devs who have free time use their attention on whats trendy. Rust probably took some wind out of the sails of haskell, but I'm not sure what trendy is moving to these days, maybe AI, but do devs really program against large AI models or just play around with chatgpt; if not, what are they interested in with regards to tools that materially affect their career?
What happened to all the debate about langs? What happened to interest (measured in frequency of online discussion) in FP? Is Rust still trendy in dev mindshare? Are these debates over/resolved?
