Like Ruby and Erlang, Haskell is used a lot for building server-side applications. It's runtime offers N*M threading and software transactional memory, which make it an attractive choice to many. It's webserver, Warp, performance-wise is competitive with Nginx.

For sure warp would seem to count!

If you're curious, there's a piece on Warp in the Architecture of Open Source Applications.

Haskell is neither a runtime nor a webserver (it's vs. its) :)

While technically true, in practice GHC is Haskell is GHC, and so the GHC runtime is "the Haskell runtime".

I think the energy that used to go into alternate Haskell runtimes is now going into alternate languages, like PureScript.
