As a complete noob considering making a commercial venture into Haskell, may I ask what people's opinions are on this? Are there many Haskell products? Our expertise is in scientific, numerical and graphical computing. Our product catalog should elucidate this: http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ I'd like to know how feasible it would be to rewrite some of these products in Haskell. For example, our time-frequency add-on for Mathematica might sell a lot better if it were a standalone cross-platform GUI application or even a web application. Is it feasible to write such a thing in Haskell? Are any core Haskell libraries non-free for commercial use? Also, would anyone be interested in a Haskell for Scientists book, following our OCaml for Scientists and forthcoming F# for Scientists books? -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
