Hasura

I don't really think many people are calling it a panacea. From my experience in the community most people I know who write Haskell write it for productivity reasons (including me, I'd rather be using Idris 2 with algebraic effects though.) I'm not saying it's somehow magically more productive than other languages, because it's useless to throw around stuff you can't really prove like that, I and other just find it to be the case. I've never found "everyone writing their own DSL" to be problematic, because it's all exposed through the Monad/Applicative/Functor classes, so the way you use them are all very similar. Honestly, the usage of such eDSLs is one of my favourite parts of writing Haskell. I use Haskell at my work for our main application, and we've been looking at adopting a style guide like https://kowainik.github.io/posts/2019-02-06-style-guide And about interesting applications in Haskell, I'd consider https://hasura.io/ pretty interesting!

Mint Lang

Maybe check out Mint - https://mint-lang.com/ This is an effort that takes best ideas from Elm. AFAIK, the creator was one of the high profile community members (or atleast a prolific Elm user). I'm not sure how this language will pan out. There are too much options for UI development right now. Also, last when I checked, you have to buy in on this framework/lang completely and you had no option of plugging this in an existing project. Still, I think Elm users may find this interesting.
