Haskellers are in a rough spot, then, aren't they?
All of the pretension that comes with knowing one of the functional languages that has a community that pretends to know math, and they end up working retail. Ow.
Joking diss aside, though, I definitely feel for people who love languages with limited reach.
(Also, I think GitHub hired a few people explicitly for Haskell, which is worth mentioning because Microsoft is vaguely more reputable than most of the companies listed in this thread.)

- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoSorry, you are right. I had confused this for the word "pretence".
- kick 7y agoIt's all groovy! We all confuse words sometimes, English overloads many of them pretty heavily.
