I was at a hackathon and this big shot legal person from NY was telling me about a hot crypto company and them using Haskell was like the first thing he told me. In fact, all he told me was they raised a bunch of money in an ICO and they use Haskell. And then he sat there waiting for me to be impressed

Every company that has the ability to do this as a recruiting tool will do it. We're using Elixir / we're using OCaml / we're using Clojure (we're using NLP / we're using ML). In every case there will be some "business" guy who understands just enough to try to impress some potential recruit. If you don't understand the domain and their actual usage of the tool or language enough to fall for this and not ask further questions, it's kind of a problem on your part.

Middle-out block exchange gets you 2x the fees and 1/4 the confirmation latency.

Add in "and every dev gets dual monitors" and it would have been 1999.
