I'm not sure if you're being facetious or asking a genuine question. The answer is "yes", with the exception of the word "actually". The "eager subset" was written to target a pre-existing runtime, which before then only supported an in-house, fairly poorly-designed, functional language called Lambda. Some of the team there wanted to be able to use Haskell instead (understandably). For stuff that doesn't require that runtime (as convenient as it is) they just use familiar old lazy GHC. My understanding is that they are progressively moving more and more to GHC, although my knowledge is five years out of date.

> I'm not sure if you're being facetious or asking a genuine question. A genuine one. I remember a presentation by a bank about their use of Haskell, and wasn't sure if it was Standard Chartered. I remember they had the subset, and mentioned they basically had to a lot from scratch to interface with various systems. And now that I have the name, I found a link to someone's copy: https://dshevchenko.biz/hs-research/Haskell-in-the-Large.pdf https://dshevchenko.biz/hs-research/Haskell-in-the-Large.pdf (used to be available at code.haskell.org). My recollection of the paper isn't perfect :) > My understanding is that they are progressively moving more and more to GHC, although my knowledge is five years out of date. Ah, thank you!
