I believe Simon got right what he got right, but nothing more. Haskell is an
experimental language that is taking off prematurely. In my opinion it needs to
be taken back to the drawing boards and overhauled before it is too late. It
may already be too late unfortunately. We may have to live with whatever
mistakes that were made for the next 100 years. Sometimes success is not a good
thing. Haskell can easily become yet another defective language.
Backward compatibility will likely need to be thrown out the door if Haskell is
to ever stand for the "truth". Greater rigor in getting it right is needed.
