Hm. Why do I make a living at it then? And why is there now an ECMA
standard for it?

That's true.
Anyway, my story about how I stumbled across Haskell:
I was visiting Glasgow for the Scottish Go championships, and was
talking to John O'Donnell in the bar about what functional programming
was all about. I mentioned that I knew Scheme, and he said he much
preferred Haskell. So I tried to get him to describe the language to
me, but he seemed more interested in playing Go.
So I just had to learn it when i got home again, to find out about it.
