"While kind of you to share this datapoint, the fact that there are 5 times more lines of C than Haskell is a bit less than compelling"
Legacy Code (almost 10 - not 5 - times as much C than Haskell). Can't transform it instantly, much as I would like to. (I did explicitly state that most of this is being moved to Haskell).
Why should a pre existing code base preclude the use of Haskell in production and be "not compelling"? I don't get it. But hey if it helps there's even a few thousand lines of Fortran in there (accessed through a C interface). Even less compelling now? ;-)
Fwiw, The 20,000 lines of Haskell would be (at least) equivalent to another 100,000 lines of code in C. So at least 1/3 d of my project is in Haskell. And the ratio is increasing everyday. The OP asked for examples of using Haskell in production. I am using Haskell in production. I didn't see any "purity constraints" in the OP's question. But maybe they were implicit who knows. I am just throwing out what I do with Haskell.
If you find it "less than compelling", that's fine. My clients (the users of the system) are delighted. Good enough for me!
