I'm glad that works for Rust but I don't see it being compatible with the way Haskell has been developed.
Haskell the language is defined by a specification called the Haskell Report. The last one was Haskell 2010 [0].
The news is that the next version of this report will incorporate advances from several GHC-specific language extensions.
How useful this is in modern Haskell remains to be seen. As far as I can tell the de-facto Haskell compiler is GHC. Hugs is unmaintained and UHC and LHC are mostly experimental or in-development. However without a spec we can't get innovation from alternative implementations of the language.
