I would hesitate to call it a terrible decision unless I had a good idea of what the ratio of Java programmers to Haskell programmers was out in the world. Just sayin...

I'm not sure the ratio is very interesting, presumably they only need one or at most a few. Possibly they wouldn't be able to hire the experienced Haskell programmer anyway (which is what you imply) and then advertising for a Java programmer only is a good decision in that it saves them some advertising cost... :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
