Haskell has some notoriety in the financial industry. Obviously the language isn't used as extensively as, say C++ in commercial applications, but to go to such extremes as saying "nobody" uses it is plain wrong.

- Agathos 15y agoA couple of years ago, the only ads I would ever see on gmail in my haskell-cafe folder were for Jane Street Capital. But they don't use Haskell. The ad basically asked if they could talk me down to OCaml. It came up for discussion on the list, and as I recall they preferred OCaml so they could write speedy code without getting hung up on lazy evaluation and its sometimes-difficult-to-predict execution time. I still haven't looked at OCaml, although I had some exposure to SML in college. I'm looking at Scala these days (The type inference isn't even Hindley-Milner! Scandal!).
