yeah as a haskeller, there is a LOT that I wish haskell had that was better... if it had taken more of the good ideas from common lisp early on in its evolution, would be in a much better place. I'm looking forward to a replacement; Unison might be it, a lot of its choices are better oriented towards interactive development, but the jury is still out on this. Other candidates imo are lean, agda, roc, verse (this one I heavily doubt), or ghc fixing itself so this discussion is unnecessary. But there is space for a language that cuts out the historical baggage. For a while, I hoped that would be purescript, but I think that unlikely at this point.
