same argument to migrate from Haskell applies to Ruby as well.

& ultimately this is why Java/JVM keeps winning & to a lesser extent Typescript.

you benefit from the robustness of the JVM, compilation is fast, the language is fast enough.

to apply to Javascript/Typescript - good enough, fast enough though will not reach performance of JVM.

I am not following. Why does it apply to Ruby? Ruby has likely 10 - 100x the size of open sources project and momentum behind it.
