Can you share what kind of system your Haskell team worked on at Google? I thought Google projects were limited to a few blessed languages. Once upon a time that was Java, C++, and Python but I guess that would now include Go and Rust (in parts of Fuchsia and possibly Chrome).

- seangrogg 6y agoEx-googler here: While the "blessed languages" still exist in a way, it's mostly about not really needing to explain the language choice when considering/pitching a project. Choosing a different language (such as Haskell) is allowed, sure, but it'll be one more hurdle to clear when trying to get go-ahead compared to just using, say, Java.
