As a "real world" example, AMD is proving the FPU of its processors with ACL2, which is a functional subset of Common Lisp. However, the FPU themselves are not written in a functionnal language but in hardware language translated in Register Transfer Language (RTL). A translator is used for RTL->ACL2 translation and then proving. http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/moore/acl2/ If I remember correctly, Coq has been used in Cristal research team to prove part(?) of OCaml type system.
