Not sure. But at least Microsoft and Intel do support the language 
development, Intel even had some open positions on their HPC lab some 
months ago.

Maybe some of the companies below also have internal desktop 
applications in Haskell, although I would assume most would code hybrid 
applications. For example quite a few companies have started using F# 
for the data manipulation part, with the UIs being written in C#.

Anyway, I can imagine that even on dry corporate world I move on, I 
would collect more support for Haskell than D just because of the 
companies involved with the language, even if there isn't a proper 
desktop application I can show.
