I am doing it for a number of reasons: - Haskell is a mature platform that provides lots of goodies that I might otherwise have to write (like the goodies I wrote in Lift including an Actors library) - Haskell allows a lot of nice "things" that make building a language and associated tools easier (like laziness) - Haskell is a filter for team members. Just like Foursquare uses Scala as a filter for candidates in recruiting, I'm using Haskell as a filter... if you have some good Haskell open source code, it's a way to indicate to me that you're a strong developer. > > -- Ivan > > On 18 December 2011 18:42, Michael Snoyman <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Sun, Dec 18, 2011 at 6:57 PM, Gracjan Polak <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> > >> Hi all, > >> > >> The question 'How hard is it to start a technical startup with Haskell?' > >> happened a couple of times on this list.
