Facebook puzzles allow for GHC solutions
Interesting: http://www.facebook.com/careers/puzzles.php So they use Haskell at Facebook? Dave

They could very well be having ghc installed on their "puzzle test server" without using it elsewhere. They got my attention though. Perhaps i should solve some puzzles instead of studying for my exam!

Yes, but people who solve those puzzles go into their hiring processes. :-) They at least have the proper respect for a nice list of languages there. Dave

They are the creators of Thrift which they created for internal use and then
published/open-sourced.. It is a multi-language RPC API/Service. When it
went public, one of the languages interfaces they provided was Haskell. So
yes. They use Haskell somewhere inside Facebook.

actually, of 5 compiled languages there, 3 are FP, and only 2 remaining are the most popular languages on planet - C++ and Java so this list shows their huge respect to FP -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com

It is well known that Facebook are heavy Erlang users. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=51412338919 They haven't made public AFAIK what they're using Haskell for. Cheers, G
