Here is the part where I want to update my data point about how many applications I can run for doing something other than writing code where the program was written in Haskell. This data point is useful because hackers gotta hack. If there's still not much here then I'm forced to assume that haskell still has problems that aren't being talked about.

Off the top of my head I've got:

pandoc - translates from one document format to another

ion - a window manager

git-annex - store stuff in git without it being in git.

If we can get to 50 useful "apt-get install"-able programs Haskell will be worth looking closely at again.

This is not trolling, this is useful data. We know FP is fun, cool, funky and all that. It's a different discussion as to what problems remain (if any) and how to solve them (if needed). I just want to see where we're up to in mid 2016.

darcs and xmonad come to mind
