While there are benefits of learning Haskell as a developer. I am curious about the professional benefits versus the time and effort required to master the language to the extent that you are employable and command a good salary compared to just focusing on mainstream languages where you probably have a lot more competition but also a lot more opportunities.

I have been looking around for Haskell jobs for a while because I would love to program in Haskell professionally, and what I've noticed that there are very few opportunities and the salaries are quite low. You can expect to make much more as a Scala programmer, for instance.

The effort of learning Scala vs Haskell as at a professional level would be more or less equal.
