Wait! Don't delete this e-mail yet! 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.

I've seen this question asked a few times and the usual link provided
is http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_in_industry. 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.

I spend my life writing one-off data analysis code. 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 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.

Hi everyone,
I'm fairly new to Haskell. 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.
Homero Cardoso de Almeida

I think that you should work your way through "Real World Haskell" which is
available free online. I thought it was worth-while enough that I bought
the book and I regularly refer to it.
http://book.realworldhaskell.org/
Learn you a Haskell for Great Good is also a worth-while book.
http://learnyouahaskell.com/
Good luck,
Tim

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