Current Unsolved Questions

Why do Haskell language extensions exist?
How do you do graphics in Haskell?
How come (e.g.) Smalltalk provides 27 different types of collection, but Haskell only ever involves single-linked lists and binary trees?
Why is putStr xs1; putStr xs2 slower than putStr (xs1 ++ xs2)?
