Haskell and Scala both seem to have survived adding it later. Rust won't have it by 1.0 either, and this never seems to come up in threads about Rust. I agree it will be a nice feature, if/when it comes. I just think Swift is being held to a higher standard because, well, Apple.
By the way, thank you for the timeline for Haskell. That's exactly what I was wanting to know.

It does come up a lot in threads about Rust in other communities :)
We've discussed how HKT could integrate into the system and I think we have a pretty good concept of how it would work. But I would caution that uniqueness and low-level memory management can often throw a wrench into the common use cases you might think of for HKT, and functional features in general.
