I would also suggest you contact speakers from past CUFP meetings, who've written all sorts of interesting summaries on the use of Haskell (and other FP langs) in industry. http://cufp.galois.com/ -- Don _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
