What do you mean by that?

Many people, including myself, have had Haskell replace Python.

You are wrong, admit it and move on. Oh gee, does that not actually make a constructive argument?

What does this have to do with anything?

It already has. You might be too foolish to take advantage of that fact, but how does your foolishness matter to me?

Oh really? Significantly fewer systems are being developed in those languages? How about some evidence?

What? You meant that a couple of applications have been written in Haskell instead of those applications? That's not "replace".

Which reminds me - if I find an application that was written in Haskell that is being replaced by an implementation written in some other language, would you claim that said other language is "replacing" Haskell? If not, don't make the mirror-argument.
