I like strongly typed functional languages. I'd like to pick up Haskell and wondering if it would increase my chances of getting a job using a functional language.
If you are interested in a job using a functional language you can pick basically any of them and then jump ship to a different one. I wrote Clojure for many years before switching to Haskell.
Agree, but I would even recommend to start with a simpler one (Scheme, OCaml...). Haskell is harder.
