Starting point for new standard?
Hi all, out of curiosity, what'll be the starting point for the next Haskell report? I suppose Haskell 2010 plus the additional "No Datatype Contexts" change accepted by the old Haskell Language committee in early 2011 (see https://wiki.haskell.org/Haskell_2010#Additional_change )?

Hi all,

It hasn't been stated explicitly, but I would expect you're mostly correct. The library portion of the standard is now under the purview of the Core Libraries Committee (CLC) [1]. Therefore the current Haskell Standard takes into account their work in addition to what you've mentioned. There's another thread on the mailing list about which extensions deserve to be promoted to language features which might interest you, but as far as I'm aware the assumed foundation is the 2010 report and the work of the CLC. Cheers, Jose [1]: https://wiki.haskell.org/Core_Libraries_Committee
