I agree with you. I don't regret the time I invested in Haskell but the payoff isn't obvious. C++ is a very different kind of complexity though, it is so easy to get burned by something that compiles but fails at run-time or is very inefficient due to an issue you didn't know you didn't understand. The Haskell compiler may make you want to throw your computer through a window but you won't think everything is fine when its not.
