> How common is it for the same person to have both strong Haskell experience and experience building large real-world applications?

I would conjecture that it is more common than what you’d expect from random chance. In my case, I picked up Haskell only after building large systems in C++, Objective C, Lisp, and Python. The draw was that Haskell let me express the kind of system invariants that make it possible to reason about a large codebase.

Since then I’ve written production Haskell in three different companies, none of which appear on this list.
