I agree completely. Haskell is a more difficult language to learn in my opinion than Python or Java, but there are real benefits in the runtime errors it can prevent.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted, but I agree. There is a learning curve to Haskell, which should not be surprising. Haskell is to Python what Python is to x86 assembly. x86 assembly has less of a learning curve than Python. There's less to learn and it's much more flexible.

Once the learning curve has been overcome, most would agree that higher-level languages are more productive. I am significantly more productive in Haskell than Python, especially for any non-trivial problem.
