On a minor note, Haskell is syntactically easier to get a handle on than are the
Lisp-derived languages (especially for programmers who have used lightly punctuated
languages like Python, TCL and REXX). Most operators are infixed rather than
prefixed. Indentation and module organization looks pretty familiar. And perhaps most
strikingly, the extreme depth of nested parentheses (as seen in Lisp) is avoided.
