Thanks for writing this out. It effectively communicates many of the underlying reasons for the state of technology in regards to race and how it affects accessibility.

Can you briefly talk about the issues you experienced working with Haskell and the even worse issues you experienced trying to find Haskell developers? Did you post on Functional Jobs, haskell-cafe, and r/haskell?

For many simplicity is defined by ease of use though.
