And the poll results are in: haskell, a nice idea, but basically ignored in the real, non-academic world. Still, keep up the research, that's the spirit!

The article lists the following domains:

1. Web Development

2. Compiler Design

3. Pure Mathematics or CS Theory

4. Data Analysis

5. Numerical Computing

6. Education

7. Financial Modeling

I'd say every item except for (3) belongs in the real, non-academic world.

One thing I would like the article to say, but it didn't: Which fraction of respondents were in each domain.
How do you come to that conclusion?
