Re:Why does Haskell, in your opinion, suck?

I think Haskell is optimized for _rewriting_ code. Personally, I think this is far more important than reading code!
Being able to read code is great (e.g. Python), but if you can't change things without fear the natural tendency of the codebase won't be in a good direction.
Haskell can actually take a while on the first write, but once you have the rails of the type system down it's sooooo easy to change things, even in a codebase you're new to or haven't touched in a while.
