Really? I've found Haskell's syntax and overall design to be the most elegant of anything I've tried. I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary punctuation which litters other languages.

I can understand the sentiment. I was a Lisper before I came to Haskell, and initially, the syntax seemed verbose and unnecessary. As it turns out though, the syntax is very simple and well designed. There's just a lot of optional sugar, which also happens to be well designed.
