(Also, have you noticed that no large Haskell applications exist? It's very hard to convince people that Haskell is not a "toy" language when no large applications exist. Building an entire *OS* with it would rather satisfy that requirement...!)
Well, I imagine that there are large applications being used at places like Galois or Credit Suisse that are just proprietary. As for open source, I guess the largest application is probably GHC itself.
GHC is certainly the only large application that *I* can think of... I don't know. It seems that Erlang is slowly taking over the world and all the rest of it, but you never hear anything about Haskell. Shame, really...
To me, C is the pinacle of everything that is wrong with computer programming.
At this point I can only say that we disagree and bow out of this tangent.
"Tangent" I will agree on. ;-)
