It sounds like you folks didn't give the language enough of a chance and may have felt the friction of trying to write Haskell in the style of another language. It takes a while to learn how to go with the grain, in any language.

While I totally sympathize with this, I'm not sure it's a very good vantage point from which to judge a language.

Which goes back to the root comment and the issue it raised:

Where are the practical Haskell tutorials. No preaching, no "you're holding it wrong", ONLY this: "you need to handle arbitrarily nested JSON? here's how".

- Learn Haskell by building a blog generator[0] (disclaimer: I wrote this)

- Simple Haskell Handbook[1]

- Haskell (Almost) Standard Libraries[2]

- [2]: https://leanpub.com/haskell-stdlibs/

This is a pretty good resource, and there are many others: https://www.amazon.ca/Haskell-Depth-Vitaly-Bragilevsky/dp/16...

Learning an entirely new language is hard and requires patience and perseverance!
