[Haskell-cafe] [Call for Participation]: Haskell Certification Program

[Noon van der Silk]

Congrats on launching this.

It's probably worth being clear on any potential conflict of interest here
with this being an seemingly "official" haskell-foundation sponsored
certification and whether or not Serokell is a funder of the HF and/or has
seats on the board.

I would also suggest it's fairly bold to claim that this is in any way
"objective" insofar as no exams are "objective", they merely test the
subjective interests, experiences, and skills of the setters, and,
crucially, an ability to succeed in exam conditions, which *many* people
struggle with, for an extremely large variety of reasons. Your Haskell may
be very different from my Haskell.
