Here are some stories of what it's actually used for: https://old.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/12vhz1c/genuine_qu...

Ha! I was also curious. Thank you for sharing.

Please allow me to share a blog post and a learning resource:

You might find this survey of Haskell's maturity of different use cases very useful:

I have yet to find a place in my own work where Haskell would strictly be a better choice, but god damn its fun to write.

Thats not a knock on Haskell either, I have a more bog standard job than it likes.

It's a general purpose language, I wouldn't say it's more or less suited to this or that, other than the libraries available for it.

It is a garbage collected language so it is generally less suited for real time applications. As far as I am aware there aren't any implementations designed to run on very low memory embedded platforms.

As far as I am aware GHC's collector is not as good as Java's.

Writing parsers and tokenizers probably.

That's what it's best for, but personally I use it for everything. If I ever get into low-level code I'll probably use Rust though.

You can confirm that parsers/tokenizers is ranked "best in class" here though:
