I like the slides and I'm glad there is more advice being produced on working with Haskell on a serious scale.

Still it would seem hard to try and get an existing (imperative programming) engineering team to take up Haskell without having to shuffle a lot of people in and out. I know I wouldn't bother writing any production Haskell in the teams I've worked with because I would be the only one who could maintain it, and that's not good. Trying to skill up existing developers might be worth it in the long run but would be a costly slow down of operations for a fair while I imagine.

I really do love Haskell though :)
