Yep. I wanted a job writing haskell. Got a job writing haskell. It was one of the worst jobs I ever hard (for non-haskell reasons). Team dynamics, culture, how good is a manager, how overengineered is a code base, how easy it is to feel valued and given responsibility. There's so many more important things than the language that now I actively don't care at all. Plus, I think these elitist programming languages attract more jerks so I'd rather avoid anything too niche and go for a Go job or something. |

Haskell seems to select for people who enjoy going off on puzzling tangents, and it seems like it takes so much learning that for many, meta skills such as good engineering and communication practices fall by the wayside.
