It will stack abstractions to the moon even for simple projects, and haskell's strengths for humans in this regard are weaknesses for AI - different weaknesses than other languages, but still, TANSTAAFL

I haven't had this problem with Opus 4.5+ and Haskell. In fact, I get the opposite problem and often wish it was more capable of using abstractions.

I guess it might be something with the subject matter and how I'm prompting. I prefer somewhat more imperative haskell though so that's probably a taste thing.
