Hi Adrian I don't want to argue against your rant for the sake of it, but Haskell is a fairly conservative language. The Glasgow Haskell Compiler supports it's own dialect "Glasgow Haskell" which is fast moving, but the developers of GHC do work hard to maintain compatibility with standard Haskell 98 and Haskell 2010 (optionally enabled with compiler flags). Afterall Haskell now is fairly widely used as a teaching language which befits stability as course textbooks, lecture plans etc. can't be in hock to a language that changes every year.
