Why I think Haskell is the best general purpose language as of June 22 2019

I find myself in despair at the idea I can’t convince my personal friends, who are curious and intellectual people, to use Haskell on a fresh start web project we have complete control over. My history may not be as convincing as someone who spent 20 years as a professional C++ dev and then switched, but I have at least experienced different paradigms and languages and found Haskell the most to my liking. I have been reading Bjarne Stroustrup’s book (his stated goals and what he claims C++ achieves are admirable and one can’t argue he hasn’t changed the world) and actually find C++ rather interesting, especially in the sense that many projects that I find interesting are written in C++, I just don’t want to myself work in the language.
