And Unlambda.

Joking aside, Haskell is pretty pleasant to program in most of the time.

forcing strict evaluation feels like a mess, template haskell feels like a mess, debugging space leaks feels like a mess, not to mention that the haskell learning curve is very high

Haskell is pretty good at a lot of things, so don't misunderstand me, Haskell it's really good! But, at the same time, it still has lots of room for improvement. I guess perfection doesn't exist.

Oh, there's room for improvement. I guess we just used different standards for `mess'.

I think something like http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1446 could be the way forward. (And would be achievable from Haskell with enough work.)
