The slide that stuck out to me was the claimed number of Haskell programmers: enough to fill 1155 Boeing 747's. By my estimation that comes out to about 575,000 (assuming ~500 per plane), which definitely seems high to me. I would guess the actual number is closer to the 125,000 the slide cites per HP release, and even that may be high. But in any case, Haskell's growth is very exciting and encouraging. Let's hope it continues!
