There's almost 800 Haskell libraries on hackage.haskell.org (millions of lines of code). On average, 2 new libraries are released each day (though 12 new libs were released in the last 24 hours). That's 700 new libraries a year at the current rate.
This is missleading and depends on how you count the libraries. For instance "base" is now split into "arrays", "containers", "process", "parallel" .... etc. In the same time on platforms like Java and .NET this might be only one package. Krasimir
