As seen here, reports from 'Rails Edge':

> It seems like everyone is turning onto Haskell these days.
> At Rails Edge last week, I saw a few telltale signs that some of the

More from the same guy:
http://notes-on-haskell.blogspot.com/2007/01/ruby-vs-haskell-choose-what-works.html
(On not writing Rails support code in C, instead in Haskell).
So a big hello to any Ruby/Rails hackers lurking out there!
Free lambdas for all if you drop by #haskell...
Cheers,
Don
