@hurril the equivalent of frameworks in Haskell, in the context of this discussion, are language extensions. I'd say the situation with those is even worse than the framework fad problem in Java or Javascript.

Language extensions don't suddenly turn compile-time errors into runtime errors like certain reflection-heavy Java frameworks do.

But it's true that there's too many different ways of writing Haskell and that makes it very unapproachable to beginners (considering that the core language is not easy to learn to begin with).

You need -fdefer-type-errors for that!

Hmm, not sure what you mean about language extensions. Most language extensions just remove unnecessary restrictions in the language. What are you thinking of?
