Re: Could Haskell be taken over by Microsoft?

[Jason Stokes]

I think the Haskell scene could only improve if Haskell was adopted by 
Microsoft.  Think about it: an endorsement from a global megacorp like 
Microsoft would have programmers defecting to Haskell in droves.

Microsoft is not the great Satan, and it's harmful to think that way.  I do 
believe it's too powerful, but that's because corporations are too powerful in 
general, it's not a specific problem with Microsoft.  Corporate adoption is, 
alas, a necessary condition for Haskell's success in this corporatist society.
