Nobody is asserting THAT.

What we're talking about is that Haskell, Erlang and C# are each good 
languages for DIFFERENT types of problems.

Of course it manages to solve the same problems - after all, it's Turing 
complete (it is, isn't it?) - and from all I've heard it is indeed a 
very clean, simple language. All that's disputed is whether it solves 
those same problems as developer-friendly and efficiently as those other 
languages with a vast swathe of complicated hard-wired features.
