"Haskell's been trying to make types optional"

Do you have a link for that? I had the impression Haskell already did a pretty good job of supporting untyped code within a module, but if it has something to do with explicit passing of type class instances or untyped module exports, that's pretty interesting. Gradual types would be even more interesting than that.

Sorry, I was referring merely to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.6.1/html/users_guide/defer... (via http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.6.1/html/users_guide/relea...). Not so much the implicit/explicit spectrum as the dynamic/static.
