Haskell has almost no syntax, even `$` is a userland function. Are you arguing against the feature of allowing ad-hoc infix operators in userland?

"almost no syntax" is, I suppose, a matter of opinion. I wouldn't consider these sections from the Haskell 2010 Report to have "almost no syntax."

Dealing with this in Template Haskell is unwieldy at best.
