Didn't know that, thanks! But then I'm wondering how they can do parsing and type checking with GHC when they are using their own dialect, "Mu". How come GHC can parse that?

I'm also interested. Just guessing, but I guess it means that while they use their own (slow compiling) 'Mu' dialect for most applications, they have switched to using 'standard' GHC for their front-end apps.

Where are Lehman Brothers, Bear Sterns? And where are all the non US banks, such as e.g. Credit Suisse? They would make the other numbers in this graph dwindle ..

Some financial speculation is zero sum, other is not. E.g. if a bank takes on a lot of clients with risky mortgages, both risk and possible gains are only on this bank. (Barring possible bail out, contagion risk etc)

It's a pity that this comment is somewhat buried, because it is so true. Loads of people complain about Maven, because writing custom logic in it is hard. If you do want to add some custom conditional steps into your build, you have to

I guess if they would have called it 'world's largest canal', it would have been more obvious that the title is not true. That honor goes to the Grand Canal in China, with a length of 1776km.

I guess it depends on what "high" and "low" mean. With "high demand" I presumed busy, but assuming there are enough resources, no need to work evenings or weekends.

Given expert skills in both Haskell and Rust, Rust is by far the fastest performing language. And if you use idiomatic Haskell the difference is even bigger. E.g. if you use lots of Monad transformers and lazy evaluation.
