Haskell would be better if...

... it didn't have Nomads.
... it was readable.
... it didn't take 6 hours to compile GHC.
... it had while loops.
... it was the algorithmic language Scheme.

All languages have monads; Haskell just makes them explicit.

All languages can be unreadable in the wrong hands.

Compilers tend to take a while to compile. Have you tried compiling the GNU toolchain?

>... it had while loops.
Not needed; it'd be redundant because Haskell optimizes recursion.

As >>4 wrote, "You don't understand the algorithmic language Scheme."

IHBT.
