A Year of Haskell

In February 2014 I published a blog post titled, “Can Haskell Power the Next Ruby on Rails?” This post marked a shift in our company’s direction from Ruby consulting to creating applications for clients in Haskell. With this shift came both benefits and challenges to our development team and business. I will present some of the accomplishments and pain points during our experience with projects in Haskell, and discuss lessons learned which may be helpful to other companies considering a similar technical direction.
