For what it's worth, IMVU has used Haskell in production for years and it's been great. Lots of people bring up the problem of laziness space leaks, but I think they caused a problem once? maybe twice?
It got to the point where, in the Haskell training classes I gave, I simply stopped bringing up laziness. It just doesn't matter much in practice, especially if you use data structures like Data.HashMap.Strict.
Feels like my new role is to help stop the spread of misinformation about Haskell by people who've never actually used it in production.
