I don't mean to imply that Haskell is only worth learning if you can make money with it, or to say that it is impossible to make a profitable program with it. I was just wondering what (if any) commercial, educational, or government sectors use Haskell, and if there is anyone on this list who makes a living in some way writing Haskell code. -- frigidcode.com indicium.us -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Suffice to say, there are people writing software that makes money in Haskell. I know I'd jump at the chance to have "Haskell Programmer" in my job description, but at the moment I'm constrained to using it to build my own tools. I think this is becoming an increasingly common trend :-) I'd interested to see if Haskell's use in industry blossoms soon, since awareness seems to be growing larger and larger.

I do, sort of. I'm a researcher, and part of my job is to build a rough proof-of-concept for any idea that looks promising. I can program in any language I want, and I choose Haskell. There does seem to be a fair amount of Haskell in the financial sector. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2012 08:21:01 -0700 From: Tim Perry <tim.v...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] Is there any money in Haskell programming?

No one cares what it is written in as long as it works. I enjoy writing a lot of the tools in Haskell. They often require less debugging than when I write in other languages. Sometimes it takes me longer in Haskell though...still learning!

I think this is becoming an increasingly common trend :-) I do this as well. I believe it's a normal part of a programming languages evolution. It's how I got started writing Python back around version 1.3 or so, when Perl was the only scripting language most people had ever heard of. Look how far Python has come since then. <mike -- Mike Meyer <m...@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.

I'm trying to learn it, but got stuck when i reached high-order functions. I understand what they are, but I cannot wrap my head on how they work, how to use them, and such. It seems so abstract to me. I tried to move on past it, but it only got harder and harder. Looks like I have problems learning functional programming. Do you have any good resources to learn functional programming? I am a decent C++ programmer. Thanks.

I'd suggest beginning with "Learn You a Haskell (for great good)." It's really great.
