This. I think I understand the basic concepts, but you get a first big slap with doing your first curl to some other service. Ergonomics of the libs is often times horrible. You are in this constant loop, oh I can't do this I need algebraic derationalizer to align those types. Several hours later your curl request works. You start looking at wall to decompress. Curl is a pretty good example its a complexity that has been made super easy in a lot of languages.

I am very much waiting for some "extremely" constraint subset/flavour of Haskell that gets some adoption(I do not think I am alone in this lobby). No crazy stuff, no "just read the types", no "its just a small extension". But I also know that it is not really feasible without breaking the IO enforcements.
