Is anyone using functional programming for the web on Windows? I know of F#, and I'm sure it could be plugged into ASP.NET, but I wonder if there is a more web-centric technology stack out there for enterprise developers on Windows?

I'm not working on production code, but I've been using Haskell via Happstack. I can't vouch for its suitability for the enterprise, however.

You can also use Erlang with Nitrogen, and of course you can configure Apache to run any arbitrary executable.

Clojure is on JVM and it can be used with your favorite Java server.
