Just like Haskell, people learn CS by lazy evaluation. Racking up bullet points is not how people should be hiring.
They should be able to train you to do what they expect you to do.
- p4wnc6 11y agoHey, I agree. I even wrote up a lengthy diatribe once about this issue [0]. But the reality is that people hire by bullet points and no engineer involved in the hiring process is going to miss a chance to assert superiority by asking about something obscure, or some riddle, or some on-the-spot whiteboard hazing. In well-known languages, you can at least study what the hazing will consist of and memorize parts of it. But with an obscure language like Haskell, you're at the complete mercy of your interviewer. They largely can pick their own idea of "beginner" and hold you to it. I feel like it's much harder to do that for Python, Java, C++, etc. [0] http://suitdummy.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-unicorn-inequality.html http://suitdummy.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-unicorn-inequality...
