Wait, IMVU? As in those terrible banner-ads with the Bratz-dolls-looking avatars? They use Haskell under the hood?

Seriously, this is like finding out that McDonalds' restaurants are powered by nuclear fusion.

Although this does make me very curious about learning Haskell - I've been pretty stagnant about learning new languages.

McD's runs the most technically sophisticated operation in the industry.

But also the same IMVU co-founded by Eric Ries i.e. The Lean Startup

That was my response, I actually gained a high amount of respect from seeing that and I browsed the rest of their engineering blog.
