You can't design a language with Haskell's semantics and Ruby's syntax. So if you want to use Haskell, you just have to get over your dislike of the syntax. It has a beauty of its own, but you'll never see it until you get familiar with it.

There's nothing in Haskells grammar that can't easily be adapted to a less terse style. It wouldn't solve all issus I have with Haskell by far, but it would go a long way to make me consider it readable. > but you'll never see it until you get familiar with it. I am familiar with it. It is how I came to detest the syntax.
