Congrats on launching this. It's probably worth being clear on any potential conflict of interest here with this being an seemingly "official" haskell-foundation sponsored certification and whether or not Serokell is a funder of the HF and/or has seats on the board. I would also suggest it's fairly bold to claim that this is in any way "objective" insofar as no exams are "objective", they merely test the subjective interests, experiences, and skills of the setters, and, crucially, an ability to succeed in exam conditions, which *many* people struggle with, for an extremely large variety of reasons. Your Haskell may be very different from my Haskell. -- Noon On Mon, 24 Jun 2024 at 21:52, Jose Calderon via Haskell-Cafe < haskell-cafe@haskell.org> wrote:
Serokell and the Haskell Foundation are excited to announce a community-led Haskell Certification Program ( https://certification.haskell.foundation/). Serokell has developed an online testing platform for administering practical and theoretical Haskell problems. Haskell is a complex language, offering a wide range of techniques and features for programmers. It’s simply not feasible for a novice or intermediate programmer to master them all. The goal of the Haskell certification is to help standardize what it means to ‘know Haskell’ at various levels of experience.
As a community driven effort, we are soliciting self-nomination for volunteers to take part in the organization and decision-making around the certification process. These volunteers will help determine how the certification process evolves and which questions are relevant to the various experience levels of a Haskell programmer. Volunteers from organizations that use Haskell professionally are especially welcome.
Please send your self-nomination to certification@haskell.foundation by the end of July 10th 2024.
Best wishes,
