Have a look at the list of projects here http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/ http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/ and see how many are probably going to be profitable in the next couple of decades. It's actually pretty amazing how much research Microsoft fund that seems unrelated to any of their current product lines.
I think MS Research would be a pretty amazing place to work.
- calgoo 12y agoIf i remember correctly, Haskell is being developed in MS RD. At least they have hired the main Haskell dev, and I think he was involved in the F# dev work, including ideas from Haskell. IThis was commented on in a talk with the Erlang and Haskell devs.
- eru 12y agoghc, the Haskell compiler everyone uses, is developed mainly at MSR in Cambridge, UK.
- storgendibal 12y agoMSR really is an incredible place to work, but also impossibly hard to get in. It's akin to getting a fully tenured professorship at a top-tier computer science program. Back when I was in graduate school, MSR dominated every other computer science research department in the number of SIGGRAPH papers they published each year. And that's just in graphics.
