haxl VS haskell-companies

Sounds a bit like Haxl. From this page:

+1. The JS event loop auto-monad-izing Promises into Haxl [1]-esqe trees of implicitly-batched loads has been a big win for us building on JavaScript/TypeScript.

If I had to move to another language, I'd really want to find a "powered by the event loop / dataloader" framework, i.e. Vert.x for Java.

Also, per dataloader, a shameless plug for our ORM that has dataloader de-N+1-ing built natively into all object graph traversals:

and Haxl

Haxl, a framework for efficient and concise data fetching.

You mean, Haxl? [1] But AFAIK only a few devs are involved for the development.

Probably, the most googled and well-known example of Haskell application in major companies is the Facebook Meta spam filters. Messages containing spam, links to potential malware and phishing attacks are filtered by Sigma, the system that was rewritten in Haskell in 2015. The choice of language was based, among other things, on performance requirements, the need for pure functions and static typing, as well as the possibility of interactive development. The Haxl framework is used under the bonnet, which the company has open-sourced. You can find more details about the development process and technical aspects in the company’s blog post.

Their GitHub still seems pretty active https://github.com/facebook/Haxl

Since you mention Any real-world application uses a database or seventeen in the backend, it's probably worth checking out https://github.com/facebook/Haxl as its goal is to allow you to write high-level queries in Haskell and have the library call out to different datasources as efficiently as possible.

There's quite a few finance companies listed on this haskell-companies list (and also 7 different blockchain companies). Standard Chartered presented how they use Haskell at HIW 2021.

This is a useful list: https://github.com/erkmos/haskell-companies

There are only a handful of industry resources using Haskell, despite being a fully-fledged production language used by dozens of companies.

Here is the list of companies where Haskell is used.

You can find a list of some companies that use Haskell (some based in the US) here: https://github.com/erkmos/haskell-companies

luck i guess, i had no idea of it's existance until i started working there (as an intern). 4 years later i fucking love it, best thing that ever happened to me. r/haskell has some postings from time to time, and they also made a list of companies that use it. I work in chile btw.
