Hello,

    Using http://www.indeed.com with the search phrase "Haskell functional",
I found several Haskell positions inclusing

I am looking for (objective.. i.e. not juts FPL cheerleading) opinions as to
why Wall Street ( http://www.janestcapital.com/) and banking  are now using

adopting FPLs and why in order to help push FPLs penetration into industry.
