So next time I hear the "you can't get the programmers" line I'm going
to respond with something like this:
"If you post an advert for a Haskell developer you will get 20
applicants. All of those people will be the kind of developer who
learns new programming languages to improve their own abilities and
stretch themselves, because nobody yet learns Haskell just to get a
job.
"If you post an advert for a Java developer you will get 200
applicants. Most of them will be the kind of developer who learned
Java because there are lots of Java jobs out there, and as long as
they know enough to hold down a job then they see no reason to learn
anything."
If this isn't an "elevator pitch" for using Haskell then I don't know
what the hell *is*!
Seriously, this is a pretty damned persuasive argument...
