I don’t have Haskell experince but I could imagine that traditional debug experience is a bit different if you have lot of functions as values. It’s at least more challenging to visualize function which is composed from 4 another ones and have maybe partially aplied parameters VS map of strings. Or how this goes? Ps: I currently prefer my .NET as F# and so on but debuggability doesn’t feel biggest strength indeed altough it’s usually ok.

Although debugging in haskell typically feels different than procedural or OO languages (much less state to rely on, so debugging is used much less to understand what happens, and much more to control that your next logical step checks out), grandparent's assertion that you can't printf simply lacks merit.
