That's one of the nice things about the Haskell community. The experts tend to be much, much better than in other places. There's much more depth there than memorization of quirks and ability to hold large numbers of arbitrary, disconnected pieces in your head all at once.

So, while becoming an expert haskeller is enviable, intermediate still suggests an ability to tackle a Fantastic array of problems.

Indeed - it's definitely one of the best places to be if you like to be surrounded by incredibly talented, but also very humble folks.

In fact I'd go so far as to say that the pool of wicked smart people who would love to build stuff in Haskell represents a significant opportunity to start ups right now. How have you found hiring for your company?

I asked around speculatively and got great response. Right now we've got exactly the team we need, and I'm not too worried about hiring in the future.
