"To be fair" Haskell has so many syntactic and compiler extensions that it's a genuine problem for code maintenance over time.
Begrudging Javascript 1 or 2 seems somewhat petty given how common it is to see compiler extension preambles at the top of every haskell module.
Point taken, but this is more a reflection of the fact _GHC_ is used as a playground for every new PL idea.
Haskell itself has no extensions, and you certainly don't need any extension to get what I was talking about above.
