Is Meta decommissioning Sigma?
Even if it is true (which is an unsubstantiated gossip at the moment), Sigma is not the only Haskell project at Facebook. See https://github.com/facebookincubator/Glean for another example.

Improving GitHub Code Search
For the grepping aspect, https://github.com/google/zoekt is a powerful one-stop-shop. For the navigating, I don't know. SourceGraph maybe, but the linking is somewhat heuristic I assume, not compilation-graph powered. But maybe that changes or depends per language.
