Motivation

Hackage (Q47445037) is the Haskell (Q34010) community's central package archive with at the time of writing this 15,649 packages. While most of them probably don't meet Wikidata:Notability there surely are at least one hundred Hackage packages that belong to notable software, justifying the creation of this property. At the time of writing this there are 45 results for ?item wdt:programmed in (P277) wd:Haskell (Q34010) and several of those even have multiple packages on Hackage (see my examples). And I am also sure that there are several more notable pieces of software published on Hackage that don't yet have a data item because Haskell is very popular in the academic community (there are many papers that cite some Hackage package and several Hackage packages have papers written about them). Introducing this property is likely to encourage the creation of data items for such notable software written in Haskell, which currently has not yet been added to Wikidata.
