Yeah I don't see many positions for Haskell, either (and I'd like to). OOP class systems are so irritating when you could get more powerful type-checking from less boilerplate. Maybe I should look into F#? AFAICT it seems to be Haskell's sister, who left academia to do finance and is pulling seven figures in her early twenties.

My group in Azure is hiring. I don't think we have any Haskell in production, but I sure bet we could get away with using F# and the new immutable collections for a lot of new stuff. zip [marshray@; maray] [live.com; @microsoft.com] Email me, I'd love some coworkers who were really into FP.

This sounds interesting. If you don't mind I'd like to get in touch also.
