You might enjoy this story which is along similar lines — a recent story of a Ruby shop turning to Haskell:

Joys & frustrations of putting 34,000 lines of Haskell into production (at Vacation Labs)

I hope @saurabhnanda does another talk sometime that gets recorded. I'd like to see many of the issues he raised fixed in the Haskell community.

@steshaw thanks for sharing! I've added https://youtu.be/7NB8tMa8sUk to my "Watch Next" Queue. 😉

Great, that they got the video uploaded. I thought it hadn't been recorded!

Hey, I just got tagged on this thread. What's this repo about? And glad that you liked our Haskell experience report at Vacation Labs 😄

Hi @saurabhnanda! Thanks for your talk and your contributions to the Haskell ecosystem! I just came across these fine folks from dwyl (Do What You Love). They are peeking at Haskell after some wins with Elm and Elixir (after a background with Node.js and Ruby on Rails). I like their way of learning by sharing. I figured that your talk would be helpful since you came from a Ruby background.

BTW, I remember reading that you wanted a solution to for "easy pretty printing". There's one that only requires the usual Show instances. I've got an example using it here.
