Really though it's less about which language you choose and more about which programming paradigms you've studied: functional & oop for example. Personally I'd find learning Haskell entertaining, but not very applicable to my day-to-day enterprise software gig.

I'm interested in Haskell - what exactly is lacking about it? Is its design fundamentally flawed, or does it just lack a community and all the things that come with that (libraries, support websites, etc.)?

'Some university' isn't the same as 'Dropped out of university'.

Until you go back, it kinda is.

There's a subtle semantic difference here, perhaps better illustrated in Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club, where the proud immigrant mother refers to her daughter as a "college drop-off" as though she could "pick up" her studies again at any moment [1].

My brother has "some university". Though now that he's 37 and working as a cook I think it's safe to say he dropped out.

What a coincidence, earlier this month I compiled a list of companies in San Francisco that are hiring: http://gregalbrecht.com/2010/07/16/soma-jobs/
