An example for one of the courses taught here, was a program that counts the number of occurrences of unique words in a file. It was written in Python, and was clean and concise enough.
Following is a Haskell version:
import Control.Arrow((&&&))
import Data.List(group,sort)
wordCount :: String -> [(String,Int)]
wordCount = map (head &&& length) . group . sort . words
