You guys are awesome!

For my 2¢, it would be really great to see some "official" love for Haskell at GitLab :) E.g. having Haskell tools installed on shared runners would be pretty nice!

I'm also curious to know the state of functional programming at GitLab. I know you guys mostly do Ruby, but would you be open to employees using functional languages or frameworks for work? (e.g. Elm, Elixir, Haskell and other exciting functional stuff)

We used Haskell for a dependency of our Omnibus packages before but it turned out to be very hard to install on many platforms.

Anyway, we don't install any tools on shared runner, we recommend you use a docker image and/or the scripts to do that.

We mostly do Ruby for the web app and Go for the heavy lifting https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-workhorse/

Now that we plan to ship with Cog we need Elixir for the first time. Help with https://forum.mattermost.org/t/help-wanted-cog-integration-f... is appreciated.
