I know a company that tried to hire a Haskell guy to support some existing Haskell software for more than a year with literally two applications.

Just finding professional devs for it seems to be hard.

My company just hired a Haskell developer; it took less than a month and we had plenty of highly qualified applicants. It actually made us reconsider how many engineers we were planning to hire, because it was easier than we expected. By comparison, we also have Ruby code, and finding equally talented Ruby developers has been much more difficult.

Well they did a bad job. The market is flooded with decent Haskell devs right now.
