Comment on Comparing Haskell and Node concurrency performanceparent

"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.
