Erm Facebook is built on PHP, Microsoft on C++ (or C#) and I've never heard of Galois.

I mean the fact that there is even an exhaustive "Haskell in industry" page at all shows you how rare it is. There isn't a "C++ in industry" page! I did actually find a Go one here:

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GoUsers

But it's both hilariously long and also obviously not exhaustive.

While you disdain Haskell's use in the industry, there are researchers much relevant to the IT industry than any of us, that happen to be on payroll from Facebook and Microsoft.

Maybe you should spend some time learning how FB and Microsoft use Haskell, you might be surprised with what you find.

As a clue, try to find out how C# and VB got LINQ, maybe you will find the right MSR paper by a certain Erik Meijer.

If you mean https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry, it is not exhaustive. The first three Haskell startups to come to mind (AlphaSheets, LeapYear, Takt) are all missing - as is the (very limited) use at Uber.
