Hm found some more! HBC - compiler for Haskell 1.4 https://www2.ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/doc/html/hbc/hbc.html <https://www2.ki.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/doc/html/hbc/hbc.html> JHC - just for fun http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/ <http://repetae.net/computer/jhc/> HLearn - an ambitious, Haskell-y project https://github.com/mikeizbicki/HLearn <https://github.com/mikeizbicki/HLearn> Kansas Lava - part of the classic, Haskell+Hardware https://ku-fpg.github.io/software/kansas-lava/ <https://ku-fpg.github.io/software/kansas-lava/> rx looks quite fun! Gotta study those grammars myself… tidal - not so retro but seems indie? cool spirit I think? http://tidalcycles.org <http://tidalcycles.org/> http://hakaru-dev.github.io/intro/quickstart/ <http://hakaru-dev.github.io/intro/quickstart/> https://kittenlang.org <https://kittenlang.org/> https://www.egison.org <https://www.egison.org/> ^ not so retro but cool languages with a good spirit https://wiki.haskell.org/ThreadScope <https://wiki.haskell.org/ThreadScope>

I’m looking to appreciate “retro” Haskell projects,
If "retro" = "old", then look at this from 1997 https://github.com/jwaldmann/rx (state at first commit)
And, I second what others have suggested: Paul Hudak: Haskore, https://web.archive.org/web/19970206084830/http://haskell.cs.yale.edu:80/has... Peter Thiemann: Wash, http://www2.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~thiemann/haskell/WASH/
The pinnacle of Haskell retrocomputing certainly is https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/0.29/
... things from before stabilization/company use.
Haskell(98,2010) does have stability: language and core libraries adhere to the report.
It's the companies that are destroying it :-) But you're right, they also spend effort on stabilization.
When I cabalized my project in/around 2014, I was pleasantly surprised how little change it needed. Basically, just build-depend: haskell98.
Don't read the actual source too closely - it's full of Lists and Ints, because, well .. little did I know at the time. On the other hand: naive means of expression, combined with absence, or ignorance, of libraries - makes future-proof software.
Will you tell us the results of your appreciations? Are you "just" collecting sources? (already that is worthwhile) Compiling them? Running? Benchmarking? Writing a paper? I'd love to read that.
