Haskeller at IMVU. Haskell could still benefit from a larger community. We have had to write some key low level tech, but we have been able to do so at an incredible pace. The /dev/urandom bug mentioned was caught by us because we are one of the few places using Haskell that also has a fairly large user base. If the community was larger we would have run into less issues. That said, we have run into a surprisingly few amount of issues :) |

I'm not so sure that's the case. For example, debian's user base is vastly larger than openbsd's, yet debian has bugs like "all the keys you ever generated are garbage" and openbsd doesn't. The "many eyes" hypothesis is bogus. Bugs are found and fixed more through deliberate effort than just large numbers of people.
