 Why do you hide your opinion in this ticket?

 Reply to bgamari and goldfire:\\

 I know you will not do anything. You follow your way and you do not ask

 Haskell is still a language for research.
 Do not neglect what others have done in the past with other languages even
 if they are not functional language.\\
