For every bad story there is a good one. Recently Haskell was used
in an experiment here at Yale in the Medical School. It was used to
replace a C program that controlled a heart-lung machine. In the six
months that it was in operation, the hospital estimates that probably
a dozen lives were saved because the program was far more robust than
the C program, which often crashed and killed the patients.
