Haskell is quite well adapted to the humans that like using it :-)
Partially it's a matter of taste.
I hated Haskell syntax in the first few weeks ("Why did they have to differ on this?!") but later I realized it's objectively nicer for expressing the things Haskell expresses and much prefer it.
Then there's a lot of bad tutorials out there.
And finally the tooling / IDEs aren't great for discovering the language and type system.
I don't see significant ways Haskell itself could be more geared towards humans than it already is. It brings simple mathematical concepts and abstractions to the forefront - and simple is not easy, but is worth it.
