Just a bit over 30, I think. And it was interesting to see a significant
number of non-student participants. Perhaps around 20%.

As an aside, we had some interesting projects, too. Sokoban in curses,
DSP/sound DSL, regex visualization, Bash code escaping, etc. I hope to see
some of them appear on Hackage soon.

That's the kind of aside that are so interesting. Please (fell free

Hi,

the results given by the same research at the world level is worrisome:
the interest in Haskell is steadily declining since 2004. Why was
Haskell not successful conquering the hearts? Is it doomed to fail or is
there still a chance?

http://www.google.com/insights/search/#q=haskellcmpt=q

BTW, who would have thought that there is so much Haskellers in Jamaica?

Cheers,
Sylvain

It's curious, if you search for PHP, Java, SQL, HTML or Javascript, all of
them show that they are declining.

 I'm curious about exactly how England used Haskell to beat Wales.  I'm
 guessing it's something to do with using monads to deal with sheep[*].

Hello,

Well, I wasn't, actually. My previous email was an eruption of second
degré (I guess the closest English term would be irony). 
 
 But you do realise Haskell is not a word only used to name some

Apart the programming language, I have encountered this term only as a
family name. I would find interesting to know if there is a language in
which this word exists and has yet another meaning.

 Other sources show growing interest in Haskell (much to the dismay of
 our favorite motto).

Would you accept to refer to these other sources?

I was mainly thinking to the number of people on the #haskell IRC
channel, the growing number of packages on Hackage, and the growing
number of Haskell-related job announcement.

It would be interesting to know some other sources: number of people
with Haskell-related repos on Github and other hostings, number of
Haskell-related blog owners, number of attendees to e.g. Utrecht
summer school on FP, ...

Probably blog owners see a rise in the amount of visits they receive
on their Haskell-related posts, but that would be also because their
particular blog just become more well-known from people already
interested in Haskell.

Thu

For what it's worth (which judging from later posts may be nothing),
the link Sachsen-Anhalt goes to a page with a section
Regionales Interesse with a nice blue bar line for Magdeburg,
and no mention of Halle.

 Good to know that Saxony-Anhalt is the state in Germany with leading
 interest in Haskell. :-) I would like to know, whether this is due to
 Magdeburg or Halle.
