I enjoy Haskell and I use it for some of my own projects, but I rarely use it professionally. I also use a simpler style of writing Haskell: I try to make as much of my code as possible be pure, with no IO or touching the real world. I try to isolate impure code as much as possible.
Using a subset of Haskell makes coding fun and productive, but when I have to read and use other people’s code, it takes time to understand what they are doing.
I have made peace with using Haskell in a simple way, enjoy it, but frankly spend most of my time using Lisp languages like Hy, Common Lisp, and Racket. I have been using Lisp languages for 35 years and part time Haskell for about 7 years, so it is understandable why I have an easier time with Lisp.
