Hello haskell,
people, are you know haskell apps that has more than 50k downloads per month (or more than 25k users) ?
Possible candidates: * GHC * XMonad * Darcs 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? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com

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
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 -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

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.

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
Hi Bulat Doesn't your own FreeArc do pretty well? Its appealing to an audience beyond programmers.

Possible candidates:
* GHC
* XMonad
* Darcs
* Pandoc I have no idea how to measure number of downloads or users, but pandoc is used outside of the Haskell community. (And it can process this email). Tillmann

I _knew_ I was missing something... And seeing as how some ruby developers have developed "bindings" to pandoc, it _must_ be popular ;-) -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
