One weakness I see on the Haskell community is that much of the discussion revolves around the compiler and base libraries, instead of other libraries and how to put big projects together.
This reflects on a lack of domain-oriented books: most Haskell books are either introductions to the language/ecosystem, or describe advanced notions on the language.
This reinforces the stereotype of lack of practicality: "why are they writing so much about their compiler instead of their libraries?"
My dream job would be evangelizing about libraries and techniques in Haskell, writing books that introduce people on libraries and frameworks, and improving documentation.
And yes, I get the irony of me having written a book on monads, transformers, and several kinds of lifting, and yet finding that we have too many of those books 😅
