In my experience, even bad Haskell codebases are easier to work with than mainstream language ones. Once I got over the learning curve, I barely think very hard when programming Haskell. It's all mechanical. For this reason, I find code style to not affect me in Haskell. I've seen a bunch of different styles and I'm never taken aback. The code is all simple & mechanical to reason about. I've been able to refactor other people's "bad code" without much effort too. This is after others have said the code is bad and unfixable. It just takes a good attitude and the same mechanical approach as always. At the end of the day, I think a lot more about the business problem in Haskell than other languages. I hate having to think about code & simulate a computer in my head. But if you wish to use other languages and pay me to think like a computer, feel free! It's your money. You can think of modules as Java classes and get the same sort of code separation fwiw.
