Can you give me an example of a domain where laziness is not desirable? I only do Haskell for side projects, so perhaps I lack exposure to some domains.

Laziness can make it hard or counterintuitive to determine the runtime properties of your program, especially with regards to memory. Same with real-time systems. But you can turn it off, or force evaluation if needed.
