There are multiple reasons: it’s a functional programming language, which means that it’s a break from the languages most programmers are familiar with. It’s far less trivial than merely learning ‘yet another language’. a lack of good learning resources, especially for beginners.
Is Haskell better than Python?
There is no doubt that Haskell is more expressive and faster and even safer. But in case of library comparison, Python is far ahead of Haskell. This is why Python finds versatile applications in the industry.
Is Haskell inefficient?
Haskell (with the GHC compiler) is a lot faster than you’d expect. Used correctly, it can get close-ish to low-level languages. (A favorite thing for Haskellers to do is to try and get within 5% of C (or even beat it, but that means you are using an inefficient C program, since GHC compiles Haskell to C).)
