I have noticed that almost every haskell source file I have looked at has 4-8 language extensions.

That is not a detailed description of the API but a short description of *WHY* you might want to use it. Followed by a link to the API

There is https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/docs/html/users_guide/lang.html and the more compact https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.0.1/docs/html/libraries/Cabal-1.24.0.0/... Best, Max

In addition to what others have said, there was a 24 days of ghc extensions last year which highlighted some of the more interesting extensions and more importantly, why you might use them. https://ocharles.org.uk/blog/pages/2014-12-01-24-days-of-ghc-extensions.html On Tue, Nov 1, 2016 at 8:41 AM, Zachary Kessin wrote:
