Excuse me? Read many programming job ads recently? What are the most 
requested skills?

There are probably more people priogramming for .net (using the various 
languages that compile to it) than for the java virual machine.
Where it changes the game is that now you can write an application, write 
come classes in C#, come in VB, some in Ruby, some in deplhi.net and some in 
Haskell.
What it gives you is an ability to write the parts of the program that 
logically fit in Haskell in Haskett and leave parts (like IO) to a language 
that does that well (like C#)
