I use Haskell for processing the examination marks of our 900 students. Our University has a system that can do all of this, but to ensure that I understood all the rules and regulations I coded up a simple version in Haskell, which comprises around 400 lines. It takes a CSV (comma separated values) file downloaded from our central marks database, from which five different marks reports can be produced, which are then written out as CSV files for viewing and further processing using Excel. Interesting, this simple Haskell program showed that the University system implemented one of the progression rules incorrectly :-)
