Good Evening from Portugal,
I write to you about the usage of Haskell because I had a professor recommending me Erlang instead because Haskell was "more for academic purposes", which left me wondering if all my time spent was spent only for curiosity sake.
I want to know how true my professor's statement is.
Your professor's opinion feels very far out of date to me. Perhaps it was true many years ago, but I've used Haskell professionally at four companies over the past decade without ever really having "looked for a Haskell job," and Haskell would be my top choice for any number of commercial projects. -- jared
