On: I learned Haskell in just 15 years

This is all myth. People don't write Haskell, because they read why other non-Haskellers also don't write Haskell, based on what other non-Haskellers wrote.

Why write in a statically-typed language when dynamically-typed languages have adapted the best bits and pieces from statically-typed languages?

Unfortunately, dynamically-typed languages haven't adapted the best bit from statically-typed languages: that all types are enforced at compile-time!

Yep, that's the parallel I was going for.

Functional languages give you the same output for the same input, and almost-functional languages ... probably give you the same output for the same input?
