Well, I received 20 responses in 24 hours, many who would move from abroad to New York! I am very pleased with this number. Hopefully this will ease my boss's concern. But please continue to reply to me if you would be interested and haven't done so yet. The higher the number the more convincing the argument to my boss.

Thank you to all who replied. What a great mailing list. I will let you know if it actually turns into a real job opportunity.

Cheers,
Tony

Hello Haskellers,

I'm trying to convince my boss to use Haskell. His main concern is finding people who know Haskell when hiring. He is comfortable with Java because he knows he can always find a Java developer. So if I advertised we were looking for Haskell programmers in New York City, how many would respond? Please reply to this email if you would respond. Email me privately if you like and I will post the results to haskell-cafe later.
 
Our company is a startup CDN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_Delivery_Network) about 3 years old and doing well. You would hythothetically be one of 7 programmer who write all the software involved in a CDN including http server, dns server, monitoring, load balancing, customer and operator user interface, etc. The pay depends on experience but is good.

Thanks,
Tony
