Is webmonkeying the only programming that's left?

Why is it that looking through the /haskell reddit, I see everyone talking web shit as if it were the most important thing in the world? Is making shopping carts really the only place where programmers can make money nowadays? Or is it just that the Haskell community is primarily oriented for the Web because it cannot into real programming?

If we want to grow commercial Haskell use significantly, we need to focus on performant full stack web development heavily.

most plebs can't handle it
there's plenty of jobs here

I tend to disagree. Embedded is a niche that hasn't seen a lot of growth (and shouldn't expect to see more in the future). Growth in electrical engineering professions is dead flat right now, and where the EEs go the low level programmers invariably follow. The only growth seems to be in the big software companies who have figured out that hardware isn't such a tough nut to crack and are now building their own. You might not be a pleb, but are you really smart enough to work for Google/Facebook/Amazon?
