Obviously both. But if you're looking to make an exclusive commitment for professional reasons, then I suspect Erlang is more industry and Haskell more academia.

I wonder if you had the same opinion about Erlang a year ago...

Erlang is trendy Haskell is not.

I was introduced to Erland several years ago because it was used in network switches.

I heard about Haskell through academic connections.
