It's the subject of the mailing list message (the [Haskell] being the mailing list subject prefix). I was able to piece together what it meant, but I know that a couple of key people for ghc work for Microsoft Research. I agree in general that it's confusing, but it's not like this is the subject of blog post that was poorly chosen. The 'real' subject is just "Leaving Microsoft".

It should be made clear in the title that Haskell isn't leaving MS, rather it is one of the lead developers of GHC, Simon Marlow.
Agreed. It should be "GHC Developer Leaving Microsoft".
"GHC Developer Simon Marlow Leaving Microsoft"

And how would we know that before we click on the link bait?
