I would be interested to see an article on Haskell in the same light as this Ocaml article, aka a constructive criticism of Haskell.

Impressive. He thought of a whole bunch of stuff I hadn't thought of. While I'm here - I'm aware of how you control importing [or not] from the Prelude. Is there a way that I can, for example, import all the stuff like the basic types, classes, etc., but *not* all the list-related stuff? Or is the Prelude not that modular?
