Continuing my previous post on r/haskell,
about how difficult it is finding work as a haskell developer, I know finding projects on GitHub, connecting with peers working on haskell is the right approach but anyway I started doing research, I had accounts on Upwork, freelancer.com, peopleperhour and fiverr. SoI thought, what are the chances? First I went to Upwork, I could find projects on data mining, analytics, ai chatbot development, ai integration, agentic workflows but not a single one requiring haskell. Every posting has skill requirements wich I would call mainstream requirements from python, javascript and xyz family of oops languages. freelancer did not even yield a single result when I tried keywords like haskell developer, smart contracts developments using haskell, mining, analytics using haskell etc.
Same happened with peopleperhour, All empty.
Heres something interesting I found on fiverr. Ten listings of guys offering teaching and code reviewing services with Haskell.

Hmm, so whats the future holds?
I am not sure, but I am thinking about the Haskell community.

I feel like it's very difficult to find any jobs where people write Haskell,

If you are one of the lucky ones who get paid to write Haskell, which domain do you use Haskell for? Is it data science, ml, academia or anything else? Did your company move from using any mainstream language to starting using Haskell? Is your company a brand new startup (e.g., database / distributed systems, Ai) where you didn’t consider Haskell initially but now feel more comfortable! What was your the initial choice?

I want to hear stories about how people ended up writing Haskell for a living (and not just as a weekend hobby).
