Haskell98 is miles ahead of any other programming language in almost every way. Haskell2010 cleans up some of the rough edges on that, putting it even further ahead. GHC's Haskell-like language may have a confusing concoction of crazy features, but most of them are optional and some are also things you won't find elsewhere.

Maybe we do need some "progress", but it'll take a long time for anyone else to come close to catching up. Even brand-new languages that are good like rust often omit basic things (whole-program inference, higher-kinded type variables) that Haskell does with ease.
