I work at one of those fintech companies using Haskell in production.
Hiring was actually Haskell’s strong side. I managed to hire 6 engineers in only one month. There were more than 50 applicants to the position. Just the idea of using Haskell in production is attractive to many.
It’s been a great experience overall. I worked at a python company before this one and it’s been refreshing not having unexpected runtime errors. Moving money around requires more robustness than your typical app.
