"Could you write a complete Mars landing project in Haskell for instance? That would impress me. That's the area where Ada excels, or (less impressive) C and FramaC. But Haskell? No way."

Depending on what you mean by "in Haskell", probably. You can write hard-realtime software in an embedded DSL in Haskell that gives you explicit control over timings, scheduling, etc, while still giving you Haskell's higher order features for composing your programs.

As I understand, the company that wrote it uses it in production in automotive systems.
