    not even sure why the thread was posted. if you type in "employable programming language" into google it doesn't even show search results, just redirects to haskell.org.

  I don't think there are a lot of jobs in Haskell. Yesod/Snap/Happstack(/Scotty) are the only web frameworks and I can count only three companies (not blogs or framework websites) that use Haskell to serve websites. And learning Haskell is very demanding. I'd never advise any one to start learning Haskell and hope to get employed any time soon.

    Learning Haskell improved my programming probably more than any other single thing I've done. And while it's true that I've spent most of my career writing python and never worked as a Haskell programmer, the things I learnt from Haskell are things I use every day. So even if I was employing someone to program python, seeing Haskell on their resume would definitely be a plus in my book.

    There's only 5 web frameworks for haskell, and that's a problem somehow? >I can count only three companies (not blogs or framework websites) that use Haskell to serve websites I can count more than three just that I've worked at. I think "companies using haskell that some random guy happens to know about" isn't a very useful metric. >And learning Haskell is very demanding No, it isn't.
