Maybe you should trying getting on Scala or Clojure projects ? Though they aren't many of them for now :(
Hi list,
I'm facing a really tough problem. About 3 years ago I stopped doing freelance and quite nicely paid projects in Java, PHP and C#.
Now I'm dire straits, again, and need to get back into the project market which seems to have picked up again, quite a lot of projects out there and it looks like I could ask again for decent rates. (I personally call them compensation because I never ever enjoyed doing Java etc. but the money was good.)
Anyway the problem is that I am totally reluctant to code in anything else but haskell. It has always been a problem to me getting up early in the morning, taking a train to work and coming back in the evening totally exhausted. But I think I could manage that again, at least for 3 or 6 months and then my bank account will be fine again and I can take it easy for another year or so.
But this time all this is much harder. I really cannot see myself writing such huge amounts of code over and over again not doing much, well you know the story.
BTW this is not meant as a fun post, I'm actually quite serious, ie. I need money, only way of getting it is doing Java, C# or PHP.
So how does one get off haskell? Are there people in similar situations that have managed? How did you do it?
Günther
