[Haskell-cafe] Haskell Usage

[Brandon Allbery]

Yesod (https://yesodweb.com), Servant (https://www.servant.dev), Pandoc (
https://pandoc.com), HLedger (https://hledger.org), and XMonad (
https://xmonad.org), among others, argue against Haskell being only an
academic language.

(I'm the principal maintainer of xmonad, but not involved with the other
packages.)
