Given that the future of programming is functional, at some point in the nearish future I want to be paid to code in a functional language, preferably Haskell.
Assuming I have a firm grasp of the language, plus all the basic programmer attributes (good communication skills/sense of humour/hygiene etc), what should I concentrate on learning to maximize my chances? Are there any particularly sought after libraries I should know?
Alternatively, would another language be a better bet, say F#?
(I'm not too fussed about the kind of programming work, so long as it's reasonably interesting and reasonably well paid, and with nice people)
