I don't think I expressed attachment to any particular solution or approach - I simply pointed out an extremely large aspect of modern software engineering where Haskell's supposed benefits aren't all that clear. So who's attached?
Are you trying to compare interactive software, one of the dominant forms of programs and widely used by billions of people every day, to formula 1 cars, an engineering niche created solely for a set of artificial racing criteria?
A better analogy would be being mad that the Tesla can't drive on the interstate.
"sophisticated games" pretty specifically implies contemporary 3d gaming, which is not a useful criteria for exploring a fundamental paradigm shift in programming.
The fact that you think a lisp machine is an "extremely large aspect of modern software engineering" certainly makes me feel that you are expressing an attachment to a particular approach.
