Am I the only person who finds it interesting/worrying that there are few to

I wouldn't say too stupid, but it may be a cultural thing. People
working in C++ are more likely to be doing what I would call
"technical" programming, and correspondingly more likely to be
interested in Haskell, and to appreciate what it has to offer from
painful personal experience. From what I know of the marketplace,
people working in C# are more likely to be doing client/integration
work where technical finesse is less important, and are therefore less
likely to see the point.

cheers,
