Another side remark:

LLMs removed some of the difficulty of Haskell, e.g. some interesting ideas to make things safer with sophisticated types or mechanisms like TemplateHaskell are now MUCH easier to implement in a few minutes. Also Haskell's general stance of breaking backwards compat in fundamental places if it's needed to make the language better, thus causing moderate amounds of upgrade grind, completely evaporated as a drawback because LLMs are extremely good at fixing type errors to bring code up to date with the latest changes.

The LLMs are very good at explaining Haskell compile errors.

Learning Haskell and maintaining projects in it is now easier than ever.
