Haskell is very good due to its language paradigm and design. BUT, there are lack of learning resources for industrial field. WHY?

Could you elaborate on what you mean with “learning resources for industrial field”?

You learn “industrial” on the job.

I have been very satisfied with this (new) book by Matt Parsons: [https://a.co/d/9fhymui](https://a.co/d/9fhymui)

Please keep the discussion factual: What is lacking in the Haskell ecosystem, what could be improved, what are good learning materials, which materials, libraries etc. are missing. But also, where do we shine in industry.

Discussions about some parts of the community “standing in the way” of a more pragmatic Haskell and industry adoption will only lead to toxic discussions that we try to avoid. And allusions to events that are not public and that we cannot verify are also very hard for us moderators to moderate appropriately.
