Here's a example from the New York Times--Haskell in the Newsroom.
Eric Hinton (whose first programming language was Haskell) gave a phenomenal talk about the cultural shift to Haskell at NYT, and the interesting ways in which they use it.
Some examples include Fashion Week image processing to analyze which colors are in style, building composite images by hue (and the massive speedups they get from parallel processing), book review analysis, high-speed video processing, and so on.
Worth checking out just to gain a newcomer's perspective to programming, what they were able to accomplish with Haskell, and how they integrated it into their existing environment.
