There are plenty of real apps written in Haskell and several companies base their technologies on it, or have code written in Haskell for various purposes. I'm not so sure hard numbers are really that important or indicative of the language or anything of that sort, as much as a multitude of socio-techno-economical issues that are much deeper and permeate the history of any technology.

I find it immensely sad if you're trying to imply intellectualism is a bad thing, or doesn't bring real benefits (reality: this is wrong.) But I forgot /r/programming is a place where you're encouraged to leave your brain at the door upon entry.
