Is it possible to earn money using Haskell? Does anybody here actually do this?
Its proabably a little harder to find a company that wants a Haskell hacker than it is to find a company where Haskell and other sane languages can be worked in over time. I work for a small venture capital funded started. My early work was all C and C++. However we did have problems where these two langauges were not a good fit (too much reinventing the wheel and boilerplate required) and I made the case for Ocaml (Yaron Minsky's Monad Reader 7 article helped). Fortunately my manager is a really bright byg, was open to new ideas and already trusted my judgement. We now hae a number of vital components of our flagship product written in Ocaml. I am currently learning Haskell and intend to introduce that as well.
