I'm writing a crypto currency app in Haskell [1], because even though every library exists written in JavaScript, I cannot read the code and feel like I know whether it works or not. There are too many ways for JavaScript to fail for me to be able to reason about whether the code is correct or not. And a financial library (one that can cause people to lose money if it doesn't work) with bugs in it is worse that no library at all, at least for my application.
