What would you say are some of the main benefits you gained with your journey with Haskell, beyond coming across a lot of abstract concepts?

I'm struggling to justify spending more time on picking up Haskell myself as I can't see clearly what's at the end of that tunnel.

I love Haskell, I find it a joy to write. If you don't really enjoy it then there isn't much reason to spend time on it. It's probably not going to help you with employment. As a side benefit, it's helped me solidify many PLT and CS concepts. That's enough for me to see value in it.
