On one hand I would want to argue with you ... because for me this [1] is arguably more readable, than i.e. java code-base. But I haven't done anything in Java for ~5 years. And I have worked through a haskell text-book recently :-)

On the other hand, I heard somebody say "Haskell program file usually consists of 10 language extensions, 20 imports, and 1 line of Perl" and I understand the sentiment :-)
