> But picking Haskell as a start up is suicidal.
That's not the experience Skedge.me had. Rewriting their app in Haskell gave them an 80% code reduction, fixed all their major bugs that had been significantly impacting customer satisfaction, and the performance increases dramatically reduced their hosting costs. Their experience is described in more detail here:

- dllthomas 11y agoAgility matters, and code size pushes against that. That said, the other bits are clearly more important: improved customer satisfaction and lower costs have much to do with startup success/failure.
- tome 11y agoThat's not what you said though. You said picking Haskell was "suicidal". Clearly it's not.
