> Dependent types are totally academic/enthusiast concern at this point, Haskell is still very much niche, and only Rust might cut it as having a slightly more complex type system and being actually used...

They're also sneaking into the gradually typed languages. Typescript and python both support literal types, which are a (very) weak form of dependent types. C++ templates also support a different weak form of dependent types (ints), that is used to, among other things, support typechecked matrix operations in eigen.
