I don't think you're paying very much attention.

  Outside the HN bubble, I mean. EDIT: I stand corrected; there is a Haskell job listed at the moment: http://www.indeed.com/q-Haskell-jobs.html http://www.indeed.com/q-Haskell-jobs.html Have fun in Reston, VA!

    The types of coding work hired out through job boards, and the types of coding work Haskell is good for, are not intersecting sets.

      Implying Haskell should only be used in the ivory tower? Just because it can be abstract doesn't mean you can't do CRUD apps with Haskell - why not?
      • derefr 13y ago
        What a language can do, and what a language is uniquely suited for, are distinct concepts. You can do CRUD apps in Haskell--but writing a CRUD app doesn't suggest Haskell, and so you won't likely hire Haskell people to write you a CRUD app. I didn't mean to imply that Haskell's specialty lies anywhere near the ivory tower, either. It seems to me closer to a replacement for Ada in writing provable-yet-optimized software.
