I like many features of Swift (or I wouldn’t be here) but I don’t want to live in Haskel world. And for some reason these guys become more and more influential in the community.

This part is shocking to me.  I've been trying to follow this list as best I can, and I can't think of a single instance of somebody being asked to leave the discussion because they didn't agree with some FP zealotry.  I could be wrong, but that's certainly not the kind of community that we should have, and you should raise this with the powers that be when you see it.  We should be able to disagree but always with the utmost respect for each other's experiences.
