I can't say I disagree with you much, though I would have some caveats. The
functional language I'm most familiar with is Erlang. It was developed and used
by Ericsson for the real-world purpose of developing telephony systems; as such,
it may be less academic and more practical than Haskell. I can't imagine how one
could write a GUI program with it, but apparently Hammer & Chisel are using it
for parts of their Discord VOIP application.
