I think the intent was “a language with nice clean syntax that is nonetheless type-safe”. A large portion of readability comes from familiarity. I find most Haskell code fairly easy to read—or at least, approximately as simple or complex syntactically as it is semantically. Other mainstream languages tend to be either much more complex syntactically than what they do semantically (“verbose”) or much simpler (“magic”).
