Haskell. I'll just repeat what I said elsewhere: monads are escape hatches to imperative programming. The majority of haskell code I've read in projects must've been written by imperative programmers who picked up haskell, because there are monads everywhere.
But the hardest to read are List, then C, then C++. Even PHP is easier to read.
What kind of projects are using Haskell in real life? I've been looking for real world examples, but couldn't really find any.
Biggest one I know is git-annex, but there's also Yesod (web framework for haskell).
