What are some real world uses for this that people have used outside of their sandpit i.e. at work?
I regularly see functional programming get voted to the top, but never any practical applications of such.

Anyway, I just sat in a Mathematical Planning seminar with a guy from Quicken Loans who uses F# in production at work (Matthew Crews). He is also an author behind the Flips F# library.
A quick list of F# libs for real world, everyday uses:
* Pulumi / Farmer - code as infrastructure
* FAKE - build tool
* Fable - javascript transpiler
* Feliz - react elements
* FSharp.Data - parsing csvs, html pages
* Http.fs - making http calls
I've been using F# to parse CSVs at work and using result types and a ton of F# active patterns.
