Hang on a minute. Isn't that literally just ~~Rust~~ CrabLang?
Rust still lacks OOP (the inheritance/subtyping part of it) though. And some more advanced Haskell features too, like HKT.
I'll take your word for it about the missing Haskell features, but with regards to inheritance, they deliberate chose to avoid it. They use an alternative model to achieve the same goals inheritance is meant for, but without the issues that come along with it. Their approach is basically a more advanced version of how Go uses interfaces to define shared behaviour.
Oh yeah, I get all of those, because I am a Rust programmer myself who hates OOP. :D
I raised the topic up only because of how people were talking about "the ultimate language with everything".
