Haskell Problems for a New Decade

You must know how bad of a reputation cryptocurrencies have at this point, right? They aren't exactly loved, especially around these parts. Cardano (which I'm assuming is what IOHK works on) may be different, it might not be, but either way it has an uphill climb to be recognized as anything better than, well...

(Or really, just combine "cryptocurrency" or "cryptocurrencies" with any negative word and throw it into search and you'll see the point.)

All cryptocurrency has a serious reputation problem right now, and it's probably not going to go away for the considerable future.

That's fair enough, but when it comes to IOHK and Haskell I'd strongly recommend checking out their team page to see who's involved!

Looks like a bunch of people who are happy to write Haskell code in exchange for money.

It doesn't mean that the company has a product.

He means to say that Phil Wadler works for IOHK.

I know he does, but so what?

I can't answer his "so what", I was just trying to clarify what was left implicit in this conversation (if not for you, then maybe for readers who don't know).
