I actually feel like something Haskell has always done very well is balance the concerns of people with different goals and motivations. [...]
Dear all,
I've read the post, and the discussion it spawned on Reddit. I agree with a
lot with the following comment there
https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/iopcx3/blog_post_be_a_goalkeeper_what_are_the_haskell/g4fvj7d?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
through its lifetime of serving as an academic research project AND an
educational tool used in freshman programming classes AND and a stable
language for production work
I have the feeling that people think that GHC is less rounded that it is
due to the myriad of extensions one needs to enable to bring some
functionality in (MultiParamTypeClasses + FlexibleInstances +
FlexibleContexts come to mind for any class-based programming). This is one
of the reasons I wanted to push the new GHC2020 "standard".

Dear GHC Steering Committee
Dmitrii makes a good point about GHC in this blog post. To discuss.

You may find this blog post useful, if you are interested in maintaining any project for a long time and keep your sanity during this process.
