It does seem like coffeescriptification. I would argue the way to tidy up Haskell is 1. decide on a decent non GHC extended standard. (maybe the last one was good enough? not been following) 2. build out a decent standard library to cover all the usual things from datetime handling to web serving without using GHC extensions Then let everyone use that Even better have a JVM/CLR type target for syntax experimentation. I think they have this already.
