Possible candidates: * GHC * XMonad * Darcs
for me, darcs and ghc are programmer's instruments. xmonad is real application, having some utility outside of programmers community. i'm looking for utility of haskell for "real world". i know that it's used in-house (as in Deutsche Bank) or to build some solutions. what i'm looking for is shareware or so, things that are usually written with Delphi-class languages
At the moment, Haskell seems to be very developer-oriented, in that its main usages are for custom applications to solve problems rather than writing "consumer" software.
Of course, it's hard to tell: do people actually use those packages once they've downloaded them? How do you measure downloads when some people use downstream binaries?
for windows application download counter is good enough measure, at least while we compare one program with another. unfortunately, xmonad isn't a windows app :D
Here's _some_ indications of download counts for XMonad: http://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=xmonad -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
