My problem with it is that nobody actually writes Haskell itself. Every real usage has N different language extensions, and everybody is writing with a different subset of those.

Beautiful language though, wish I could use it at work.

So what is "Haskell itself"? Writing everything with the Prelude and the `IO` Monad?

Sure some people go off the rails with some things, but it's possible to write mostly vanilla Haskell and get a lot done.
