Initially, when it was used mostly as an intermediate language, it had a fairly spartan syntax.
However, over the years, the syntax got friendlier and it currently it looks a lot like \gls{HASKELL}.
-In the past, a \emph{double-edged} fronted even existed that allowed \gls{CLEAN} to be extended with \gls{HASKELL98} syntax and vice versa, however this frontend is no longer maintained~\citep{groningen_exchanging_2010}.
+In the past, a \emph{double-edged} fronted even existed that allowed \gls{CLEAN} to be extended with \gls{HASKELL98} syntax and vice versa, however this frontend is no longer maintained~\citep{van_groningen_exchanging_2010}.
This chapter therefore gives a brief syntactical and functional comparison, a complete specification of the \gls{CLEAN} language can be found in the latest language report~\citep{plasmeijer_clean_2021}.
Many of this is based on work by Achten although that was based on \gls{CLEAN} 2.1 and \gls{HASKELL98}~\citep{achten_clean_2007}.
When \gls{HASKELL} is mentioned we actually mean \gls{GHC}'s \gls{HASKELL}\footnote{If an extension is enabled, a footnote is added stating that \GHCmod{SomeExtension} is required.} this is denoted and by \gls{CLEAN} we mean \gls{CLEAN} 3.1's compiler with the \gls{ITASK} extensions.
