You probably got 500 applications for Java/Python/PHP, of those 450 average and let's say 50 good.

With Haskell you just get 5 good ones. You probably don't start with Haskell as your first language but rather move into it after you are a senior in another language. If you are lousy in Java, you probably won't go and learn Haskell or some other niche language.



That sounds like a reasonable assessment.
