"John A. De Goes"
Personally, I'd be happy to see that explosion of innovation in the library and tool spaces, even if it means the language itself stops evolving (for the most part). It will make it a lot easier do use Haskell commercially, and the innovators in the language space will find or invent a new target to keep themselves occupied.
And this is why we must avoid success: It would mean instant failure. There are already enough hype-languages around, there's not too much of a point to add one to them. Haskell won't stop evolving and (conservatively) keeping up with PL research until that's done, or Dependent Typing is well-understood, whatever comes first. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity.
