Using Haskell for a web-project is mindbogglingly insane in my opinion. Not sure how that happened. Haskell maybe powerful, but it's learning curve is monumental for what it's being used for.

I don't know what to tell you. It's generally been a good experience so far. Some interested developers have certainly been less able to get involved, but some capable developers have also been more interested. The Haskell web ecosystem has been doing some great things.

castAR - http://www.technicalillusions.com/ - Mountain View, CA We're building truly augmented reality: embedding real, 3D virtual images into the real world. Our holographic images spring out of tables, walls, or other objects; you can walk around them, lean in, and see that they appear as real parts of the world. Since you look at a normal distance, we don't have the near eye issues (distortion, nausea etc) of VR a…

I emailed castAR last month asking about positions in hardware/embedded dev for new grads, but I didn't hear anything back. I tried both careers@ and jobs@ email addresses.

Are you an experienced Haskeller talking from a position of knowledge or just a mindless naysayer?

I don't mean this as an appeal to authority or ad hominem argument, by the way. There's no substance in your comment, so I'm more trying to understand the process of coming to your conclusion there.

As someone who has only studied HTML, CSS, and Haskell, I have no perspective myself about the learning curve issues in this case. But I have yet to hear strong critique of Haskell (even for web) from anyone who is a Haskeller. Seems everyone who uses Haskell thinks it's great — which cannot be said for common web languages like PHP or JavaScript. Again, I don't have a real perspective myself, so I dunno…

"Mindless" is quite possibly too harsh. Someone might have less knowledge than "an experienced Haskeller" and still have given it consideration and be operating still from some knowledge. While I (clearly) disagree with the conclusion the parent commenter has drawn, conclusions can be wrong without the reasoning being "mindless".

New Matter - Pasadena (Los Angeles), CA - http://newmatter.com

Our Indiegogo campaign from 2014 (raised just over $680k): http://indiegogo.com/projects/new-matter-149-mod-t-wifi-3d-p...

Software Engineer, Back End and Infrastructure Web Software / Mid-Senior

New Matter was founded in 2014 with a mission to bring 3D printing to every home, school, and office. An Idealab company backed by strong venture capital firms, New Matter is poised to revolutionize the consumer 3D printing market with its flagship product, the MOD-t. Slated for release in the first half of 2015, the MOD-t will be the most affordable 3D printer on the market and will be integrated with New Matter’s online store of 3D printable designs, allowing users of all skill levels to find, customize, and print great objects.

Job Description New Matter is looking for an engineer to lead the development of the back end of an exciting new 3D printing marketplace that’s tightly integrated with our 3D printer. We’re very early so you really get to own this piece of the product.

You’ll lead the development and maintenance of our system architecture. You’ll also work closely with the lead back end engineer to develop an API that talks to both our marketplace as well as our printers. Being self-driven is important since the team is small and we want to build an ambitious product quickly.

Skills & Requirements

• Strong experience developing large-scale web applications and Linux infrastructure, as well as understanding and familiarity of Linux fundamentals.

• Strong experience in developing and maintaining system reporting and infrastructure health monitoring.

• Solid understanding of TCP/IP networking fundamentals.

• Experience with system architecture for web applications, and AWS in particular (EC2, EBS, CloudFront).

• Experience with developing RESTful APIs.

• Experience with and passionate about Ruby/Rails, Python, Django, Sinatra, Flask, Go, Node, Angular, and other various web technologies.

• Experience with various relational/non-relational database technologies (Oracle/MySQL/PostgreSQL/NoSQLs).
