Yesod (Michael Snoyman) is a full-festured webapp stack. Michael blogs its features.

Don't forget Simon Marlow is at facebook now [1]

But even there the goal is not about adopting Haskell in the large, but using rather using Haskell to create a DSL for end users/employees internally in FB to easily create search/spam filter behaviors.
