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". Alejandro El jue., 10 sept. 2020 a las 18:01, Simon Peyton Jones via ghc-steering-committee () escribió:

Dear GHC Steering Committee

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