I am reasonably certain I could pass this exam, I signed up for the waiting list, but I am doubtful that would in any way translate to any kind of job opportunity.
Even certs in more commercially popular languages aren’t taken terribly seriously most of the time; I have a few and I eventually took them off my resume to save space.

As someone who has worked on haskell professionally, it's probably the easiest language to interview in/for. It's really easy to see how deep a dev has gone down the haskell rabbit hole. Forget a certificate, just talk for 5 minutes.
Any dev who has fully gone down the haskell rabbit hole can definitely grok any other paradigm. The challenge isn't technical skills with devs like this.

Sure...
99% of employers: it's impressive that you master Haskell and passed this test. Still, you need to solve this leetcode problem (and preferably not using Haskell)

It's stupidly difficult to get
a Haskell role. There are long time, knowledgeable forum members on the Haskell discourse who have related on there that they've never been able to secure a full time Haskell role.

Finally, a commercial application of Haskell.

What might be the best example of an open source Haskell project that sees meaningful commercial use?
I realize I’m not sure I’ve ever seen what that looks like, having only been exposed to personal/small projects.

What they don't tell you is haskell integration is still poor on interview platforms so you will be solving them in python.

It's probably easy to get certified and still be an incompetent programmer (in the same way it's easy to get a university degree and still be an incompetent programmer)

Cool, a cryptocurrency company trying to improve Haskell's reputation.
