Java hate aside, I love the idea of pictorial format for specifying data flow.
Haskell is wonderful in its partial application, '.' composing, and other such tools, that really let you quickly and easily specify how your data flows through your functions. My gripe is that it starts getting weird when the order of arguments don't line up, when you have to swap some values, when you have to take a partial result and only apply it 3 steps later.. the Haskell syntax really breaks down from its usual purity in those cases. A flow diagram picture, similar to as shown in the article, makes it immediately obvious what is happening. I wish there was more integration with current IDE's for this sort of different representation styles
