I don't see how this isn't just patently false. Haskell is used to process every single user interaction on Facebook and OCaml handles billions of dollars of trades daily at Jane St. I doubt your use cases are more 'serious' than that.
- spekcular 5y ago> Haskell is used to process every single user interaction on Facebook Do you have a citation for this? I'd love to read more.

- spekcular 5y agoThanks, that's a good read.
- turminal 5y agoI don't think "$bigcorp uses $technology" necessarily means said technology is serious and reliable. It can also mean they just have a big enough dedicated team to adapt it well to their use case. Facebook uses btrfs in production and I'm sure it works great for them, but that doesn't mean btrfs is a good fs. And Jane Street has basically built their own stdlib for Ocaml, didn't they?
