Ooops Just after sending this I relized that it is possible to narrow the search using categories. Using the category programming: http://www.google.com/insights/search/?hl=en-US#&cat=31&q=haskell&cmpt=q http://www.google.com/insights/search/?hl=en-US#&cat=31&q=haskell&cmpt=qit is even possible to compare the evolution of the term against the whole category. Both go down with time (because technical people dominate less and less the wen searches) . But the slope of "Haskell" is lesser than the one of "programming". By the way, it is possible to compare two or more search terms. Within the category programming, monad, and "type class" are scarce compared with "object" but the slope of the former ones are clearly up while object is down. (press "growth compared with the programing category"). What happened in the first half of 2006? monads were high there!. An further example is lazy versus strict. Both are comparable in percentage, but lazy is scandalously up while strict is down at the same rate. http://www.google.com/insights/search/?hl=en-US#cat=31&q=lazy%2Cstrict%2C&cmpt=q By the way, the term "tired" has increasing share in the programming category ;) 2010/8/31 Henk-Jan van Tuyl On Tue, 31 Aug 2010 13:57:42 +0200, Alberto G.

I think that a more appropriate term to look for haskell interest is "monad" although it may catch some crazy philosophers too. The result is interesting,

You can still get things like a page titled "Ben Haskell - Language Technologies Institute - Carnegie Mellon", and of course, not all pages about the programming language contain the word "language". To get proper results you would need a good semantic search engine, but these search engines seem to be in early research stage.
