Is is actually hard to hire for Haskell? You can’t just tell some random to learn it (because his head will explode), but my impression is that you’ll have candidates coming out of the woodwork who could never get away with using it before but always wanted to.
- egwor 6y agoQuite a few universities in the UK teach haskell as a way to start everyone on a level playing field and to introduce various concepts.
- rednum 6y agoSimilar situation in Poland. Also my anecdotal experience is that Haskell classes are not considered to be the most difficult, rather they are somewhere in the middle.
- dagw 6y agoThe University I went to in Sweden used Haskell for its intro classes. Intermediate classes where taught in Java.
- pwm 6y agoSingle datapoint: The last time I posted a job ad (I was the hiring manager) I got ~40 good applicants within a week. I expected much less and got pretty overwhelmed.
- dllthomas 6y agoIn my experience, it's easy to hire the next Haskell programmer and hard to hire the next ten. My experience with onboarding non-Haskellers has been pretty good, though I would certainly admit the argument that they were unusually talented individuals.
