Actually, much of what is there are just basics that you'd find anywhere
-- directory scanning, etc. Though it does seem to have better support
for POSIX libraries than OCaml (which is a sad commentary itself).
Things that are notably missing from Haskell, judging by that list, include:
* Generic URL handling and HTTP client libraries
* IMAP
* POP
* SMTP
* NNTP
* Databases of any sort
* XML and XML-RPC
* E-mail/MIME parsing (another huge problem right there)
* Thread support
* Curses
Compare that to, for instance:
http://www.python.org/doc/current/modindex.html
You'll see even more there, including MacOS resource forks, audio
support, etc. Not to mention the huge Python add-on community or the
even larger Perl one.
