@shegeley I think it's best to be honest, but also not to decry the mainstream too much just because it's technically inferior to some other technology. So you can say you think Haskell is superior to Java (for instance, I jest), but that you appreciate the need to maintain, for example, Java applications and work with the limitations of the language (which you could then briefly elaborate). Your willingness, or otherwise, to work with the mainstream should be understood.
