As compared against Python and Perl, how stable is Haskell?
That is to say, between Python's 3 and 2 being so different, you pretty much need to know both. And with Perl 6 being "on the way" for so very long, and it too being a turnabout in many ways from Perl 5, it is discouraging to be keeping on with Perl 5 the way I've been doing.
All that said, I know that they model the forthcoming Perl 6 in Haskell, which is how I heard of it. And ever since then, I've been thinking if I were to take up a new language, Haskell had maybe ought be the one.

I think you're actually asking ``how much does Haskell change between revisions'' and not how stable it is. If you're looking for a language where your program will work with a compiler that's 5 years old or 5 years from now, this probably isn't it. It's not like programs break daily because of the changes but I believe there is no hesitation to change stuff because some program from 5 years ago might no longer compile. - -- Mateusz K. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJRp99TAAoJEM1mucMq2pqXiksP/RAcI0HG/cI78reBd87xe3S5 wpbYV110KGZb0uBM0uJQbY8iAr2BU/TluOPQrkIcJpttwfM+RUZIn4tU0wlsSQOJ /kIYcXpjnj0X7h2PnZOaJnu7FkRMXsLYhn4UHcrR6K3Gp1gaFcgULYBiTO5Tc3Pr ouh5uz7DrHgXyBAHLyD4MLO07TlK0IcHYIocqaYHBCYn1nznDu89Avrz+PWRvw+S /hTpgPq3gb/sVNA/ZdRFmKmcgtp+mReETlhNMqP1vs2pqwkQoiB+K6bPNRhHuRrk EHYHcn5kM/7chU3Lr93KTB+TTw5MDH8W/qrEUibDL5pxZyvtO9ZKQXMwqbrGiHEi 9xyXfOQ38RvriDBWEXxTmkobAZQiWx5yKLzEzdtu3QGCPFxLduaVYzQf/4KG9jQR TegzFk06yGSL2b8dfH/vkN4L6vMx92lU9hVosWl4BTIj4ZjO8xH7kgwpRbebCcw9 FF86d2lQ9s3rqbpM+hSxF8DGk+YIKfc85gZZuFAsPqnXu5FSFfLnxsHUS6Cd0si9 wTTuPhzsfXKk3FQgnbfY/kUnv5fqJABY0Ab4rwq9pWLnrtueu7Fu42q3SwMBniHN cuSQWqne0+K3WHupkLfkWJKH8qv8ER9yVt8wZ2pH5DGOIOl4zY+N/BFLdpbFjOn1 j3STv2ZXecSom/d9dfKs =ZblG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
