Defer Haskell type errors to runtime: new GHC 7.6 developers' flag

I don't think this has anything to do with Ruby (dynamic) or Haskell (static).

Scala is a dll hell b/c of binary incompatibility and a community that wants all frameworks on bleeding edge Scala (RC even) versions.

Compared to Java, where many frameworks still work with Java 1.5 and dependency management is a joy.

The difference seems to be that languages with dynamic type systems or very simple static type systems aren't as difficult as languages that encode a lot more information into their types.

Maybe it's not fair to generalize from just those few examples though.
