Hello,
I'm not sure if you're serious or not ...
Well, I wasn't, actually. My previous email was an eruption of "second degré" (I guess the closest English term would be irony).
But you do realise Haskell is not a word only used to name some programming language used by fanatic hipsters [0]?
Apart the programming language, I have encountered this term only as a family name. I would find interesting to know if there is a language in which this word exists and has yet another meaning.
Other sources show growing interest in Haskell (much to the dismay of our favorite motto).
Would you accept to refer to these other sources?
I was mainly thinking to the number of people on the #haskell IRC channel, the growing number of packages on Hackage, and the growing number of Haskell-related job announcement. It would be interesting to know some other sources: number of people with Haskell-related repos on Github and other hostings, number of Haskell-related blog owners, number of attendees to e.g. Utrecht summer school on FP, ... Probably blog owners see a rise in the amount of visits they receive on their Haskell-related posts, but that would be also because their particular blog just become more well-known from people already interested in Haskell. Cheers, Thu
