hello hello Avi press here founder and CEO of scarf and this year I'm so very excited to be attending and giving a talk at scale by the bay in my very own hometown of Oakland California so my company's scarf provides usage analytics and customer intelligence for open source software projects especially to companies that commercialize open source and in the very early days of when I was getting scarf off the ground I came to the decision that all founders have to make of what programming language are we going to pick and I was bold or daring enough to go with Haskell my very very favorite language in the whole world and ran into a myriad of roadblocks and also Tailwinds to doing what we were doing and so my talk is going to dive deep into the best and worst of Haskell it's entitled why Haskell is a terrible choice for startups and why we picked it anyway if you're an entrepreneur that is mulling over the question of what tech stack you're going to use if you're a Haskell Enthusiast that wants to know more about why industry adoption is where it is or if you're just curious about what running a production system in Haskell is like that's serving millions of hundreds of millions of package and container downloads around the world this talk you won't want to miss it thanks so much and can't wait to see you there
