    The same reaction whenever I look at haskell. A “pure” language with an escape hatch that has a fancy name. Once you open the escape hatch, you can write entirely impure code in Haskell and never see a pure function in your life. So much for “pure”.

    Are extensible records usable already?

    Not that I would pick TS because of that, but the disdain is undeserved when it has some very useful features that Haskell has been trying to copy for years.
