You don't know whether you want a Haskell job if you don't know Haskell yet.
- xupybd 3y agoI like strongly typed functional languages. I'd like to pick up Haskell and wondering if it would increase my chances of getting a job using a functional language.
- ff_ 3y agoIn all the Haskell teams I worked in, the candidate knowing Haskell was rarely a significant advantage (except for cases where the most experienced Haskeller leaves, and then you need to hire someone to direct your GHC-internals questions to). If you are interested in a job using a functional language you can pick basically any of them and then jump ship to a different one. I wrote Clojure for many years before switching to Haskell.
- yodsanklai 3y ago> you can pick basically any of them and then jump ship to a different one Agree, but I would even recommend to start with a simpler one (Scheme, OCaml...). Haskell is harder.
