Note that the book iss not a Haskell tutorial, it's rather a design book that can be applied to any language. The author merely choose Haskell for its expressivity. Haskell is used in a lot of places, as an example Facebook's Sigma blocks spam, phishing attacks, and malware and was migrated to Haskell.

And yet he calls out haskell by name and only haskell and claims to seek to solve the problem: "Functional programming hasn't taken market share because we collectively don't yet know how to write real applications with it." Someone claiming to have individually solved that problem should probably point at some applications by way of evidence, no? But I do acknowledge the self-awareness of the author that the problem /exists/ and is need of solution. But the actual lack of applications is a problem in need of a solution for anyone claiming haskell is generally useful. Dash off a few decent ones and suddenly I am ALL EARS. Aren't you?
