> Having developed Haskell skills, what can one then do with them? Who in the world wants to have any Haskell code written badly enough to offer to pay to have it done?
Are there any languages you can immediately answer these questions for? Are there any popular languages you can't answer these questions for?
I have some ideas, but I want to nail things down a bit more before attempting an answer if you don't mind.
About once a week I get a note from another recruiter offering, for C++ coding, north of a half $mil per annum from a certain hedge fund with a reputation for high turnover.
And of course we all get our monthly calls from Google recruitment contractors to come code Google's special subset of C++. Google doesn't offer a half $mil to everyone, but remarkably many do get it. I expect a few even get it for coding Haskell, although one may doubt that is what the req they were hired on called for.
