I can't say we are using Haskell (well, we have for a small thing or two,
but not enough to justify hiring someone for it).  However, I think that the
use of higher level languages in general are increasing.

We'll be looking for someone soon to develop, not only in C++ or Java, but
also in a new systems design language called Rosetta (http://www.sldl.org).
I predict that the use of such languages will increase in the next few
years --- slowly at first, then faster --- particularly in the systems and
hardware design arenas, even more than in software.
