If that's actually true, we should all be using CoffeeScript: http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2013/03/25/programming-languages-ranked-by-expressiveness/ http://redmonk.com/dberkholz/2013/03/25/programming-language... According to that analysis, it's more expressive than Haskell, Scala or Clojure (all of which otherwise rate quite well). Regardless, the "ad-hoc" solutions are all about the same LOC as the do-notation syntax, so I'm not sure the LOC argument is relevant here. I would assert that bugginess and readability vary across coding styles, which is ultimately the question at hand, not language (ie; you can write comprehensions in Haskell too).
