Python, which you mentioned in your other comment, is super irritating re: tooling -- yet people seldom find the need to "justify" using it.
Sure, the simplest (and mostly wrong) way of setting Python up is seemingly trivial, just like Haskell's. You'll soon run into all kinds of trouble with pip and dependencies and environments and typechecking and linting and the myriad of confusing and slightly incompatible tools that form Python's wider ecosystem.
