Having been a haskell programming I kind of think it's type system is too powerful. I feel like I run into more problems of being unable to figure out all the type-level hackery and abstraction in a Haskell library, than I do of "I wish I could have encoded this bug into my types".

edit: disclaimer: hobbyist, never did haskell professionally

When you feel like this please file issues on those libraries!
