Actually I thought of another reason why Haskell matters. My HN score has gone up over 60 points in the last few days from only 4 comments here about Haskell. It's really a very efficient tool to have in your arsenal :-)

  I'm CTO of a team of Haskellers in London. We're not hiring at the moment, but if you ping me on ben <at> dlstartup dot com I'll keep your CV around. Otherwise there are 5-6 haskell startups and probably others on the finance world. Whereabouts are you? In addition to mightybyte's list there's also http://www.borde.rs/ http://www.borde.rs/ Barclays Capital http://www.sqreamtech.com/ http://www.sqreamtech.com/ Tsuru

  I'm cofounder of usedox.com. We're 5 engineers strong now and do most of our work in Haskell. Not hiring at the moment but expect to in early summer. The quality of the unsolicited, inbound requests we get for prospective hires is amazing.

    Can you email me so I can email you back about it? Or some other efficient way of helping me remember to ask you about the job in the early summer ;)
