> Do you know of any success stories or case studies
Here's one from /u/bos. It doesn't have a whole lot of examples, but ~~it was a successful transition from another language to Haskell that~~ it illustrates some of Haskell's advantages.
EDIT: I was actually thinking of the skedge.me talk, which is already linked elsewhere in the thread.

Microsoft Research which employs Simon Peyton Jones of GHC fame is part of a company.
BlueSpec's hardware description language compiler was written by Lennart Augustsson in Haskell.

Also my tiny company ansemond.com has delivered one project in Haskell for a customer, although the bulk of our work has been in assembly / C / C++ / Objective-C / Python as desired by the client. I also implemented some things in Haskell for AMD, NSM and Cyrix as we…
