I am currently using Haskell at work although
not to develop end - software
We have a lot of legacy code which we want to convert to Java
I am using a combination of
happy , alex, asdlGen, hugs and GHC, writing in a monadic style.
I tried to use Haxml but found it
too inefficient for the size of files I needed to much so ended up
using
C -> ASDL -> Haskell and used the GHC extension libs.
I found that by using haskell I managed to get a prototype system up and
running in about
2 weeks which I dont think I could have done in another language.
I wouldnt say that this was my normal programming language though as this
tends to be more
C++ / Java.
