Could someone link me to a consumer web app with standard features (generating HTML, talking to a database, making requests to 3rd party services) that uses one of these typed functional languages (Haskell, Clojure, whatever)?
I'm genuinely curious what this code would look like - every example I've ever seen goes something like "Types are the best thing ever! Here's an example: sorting a list! making a stack/queue! See it's GUARANTEED to work! Math and stuff!". The closest I've seen is the Gilded Rose kata, but that doesn't seem to handle UI/database.
And, please, don't say "just use an I/O monad!" - that isn't helpful to me.
