Nothing forces it to be messy. A well-tended haskell codebase is great. On the oposite, I would say that a poor haskell codebase is painful, but far from being as painful as a poor java/js codebase.

Anecdotally, in my years of haskell at separate places, I had to debug/repl maybe had to repl once or twice. I wish I could say that of mycurrent java gig.

My experience is similar, and in addition I would say that I have come across badly written, difficult to understand Haskell code, but it was always straightforward to refactor it into something clearly written.
