My experience has been different in Massachusetts. At my first job after my Comp Sci degree, developing compilers for a now-defunct minicomputer manufacturer, another developer stated that his favorite programming language was the pure subset of Lisp. These days when I go on site to interview for a job as a C++ programmer, usually at least one of the developers with whom I talk recognizes Haskell on my r�sum� and knows something of functional programming. > I've never even heard the topic mentioned Granted, the average programmer can get along on just the information that comes out of the OOP/UML/IDE industry. But the people who brought templates to C++ and generics to Java made no secret of their knowledge of functional programming, and cited these capabilities as they existed in SML and/or Haskell. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
