Juniors write bad code in all languages. Why is Haskell's version of this so much worse?

  My claim wasn't that the Haskell version is worse. Just that it isn't some super power that is free from this problem.

    It does mitigate the problem. The worst Haskell mess I've seen is nothing compared to the balls of mud that can be made in less disciplined languages. They're not All the Same.

      You may have just been lucky. The worst balls of mud I have inherited were in highly functional styles and systems. Conversely, I may have just been unlucky. Would love to see studies and data.
