Look, I sympathize with you because Haskell is not easy to learn by any means so I understand someone not liking it. If I get time later I'll go item-by-item and explain. There's a lot of questions there but it's actually just a few fundamental concepts.

But I've seen engineers with only C/C++ experience get onboarded and write code with the same concepts & more complicated ones as the link shortener above. The key was onboarding by someone who knew Haskell well. Haskell companies need a culture of learning _and_ teaching to truly thrive and counteract downsides of the language like hiring pool and learning curve.
