What use cases does Haskell have? Seems like a great language and want to give it a try if there's something worth doing with it

Check the haskell wiki

To be specific https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_in_industry
I've personally not touched Haskell, beyond following along in "Learn you a Haskell for Great Good," however I have bumped against modifying Erlang in the wild (specifically with RabbitMQ).

You can't Haskell without being aware of how it's different. Apart from ongoing research a lot of Haskell work is directed towards evolving the understanding of the language. This is also what many struggle with. Algebraic structures as type class hierarchies are very important in Haskell. While you can focus on what you could in any other language, the community is highly focused on details of these hierarchies. Coming from other languages this will feel masturbatory but trust me when I say this is one of the primary use case of Haskell. Learning instances and how they compose, learning what instances imply others are all a big part of it. It is equally important what instances don't exist https://blog.functorial.com/posts/2015-12-06-Counterexamples.html
