Although this question is essentially personal in nature, I consider it to be (and tried to make it) broad enough to justify its presence here, propped up by Haskell being used around the world for teaching purposes. If you think otherwise, reply directly to my address: tretalhada@netcabo.pt .
This is an interesting subject, and there's another question that I can join to yours. Suppose one is willing to sell haskell-based solutions to customers. Haskell is a great language because it has a very good type system, which catches a lot of error at compile time. But I see that running out of memory can crash an haskell program. So my question is: in general, how do you consider haskell from the point of view of security ? Would you put a server you wrote in haskell on internet and hask people to try to hack it? Would you bet that your server won't crash for some month (if written mainly outside the IO monad) ? Vincenzo -- First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
