I'm unconvinced that suboptimal versions of Haskell such as mtl with it's n+1 instances or very strict interpretations of simple Haskell have the ability to meaningfully move the popularity needle of Haskell forward.

With that view it makes since to highlight either "Haskell v2", my ideal flavor of Haskell without reservation, or some mix of the two.

There's a time I wouldn't have mentioned effectul for exactly the reasons you allude to, but... I suppose I along with reasons cited, I no longer care that much in a way.



Already ADTs do it for me when comparing to other popular languages :)
