Improving Haskell with Javascript syntax is like improving a Mark Rothko painting by sprinkling glitter all over it.

  It's more inspired by TypeScript I'd say and there are also features inspired by Rust. I'd call it readable haskell not hinc. Most popular languages created sort of universal visual language of what things mean when they look certain way and weird languages with very cool mechanics like Haskell, have much trouble with conveying this mechanic to the new user when they don't subscribe to this visual language (for historical or whatever reasons).

    > Most popular languages created sort of universal visual language of what things mean when they look certain way python kind of ignored this "universal visual language", and the language seems pretty popular with newcomers.

      Not really. Python has exactly the same structure as all other popular languages. Lack of brackets doesn't make it much different. Ruby is weirder.
