I agree and it seems like 2015 has seen a substantial increase in interest in Haskell. The NY Haskell meetup group has seen a steadily increasing number of group joins this year. Both of the last two months have had a record number of new signups and have been more than double the median. I don't know what is causing the increased interest, but it's clearly not an isolated spike.

- michaelochurch 11y agoWe've seen big growth and interest in the Chicago Haskell group as well. I'll support Luke's claim. We've had over 30 people for the last two meetups (in March and May). There's a lot of interest in the next Meetup (July or August, depending on speaker availability). I'm also planning to do a beginner Haskell class (assuming programming experience, but no Haskell experience) in Chicago around November over a couple of weekends. I'm writing a summer class that my company will use, and I'm planning to convert that to a weekend workshop (probably 2 weekends, realistically) in the fall.
- LukeHoersten 11y agoVery much thanks to your efforts, Michael!
