Haskell would have been a mistake. The Nix language is domain specific and self limiting and can be picked up pretty quickly in comparison. I can look at snippets in various configs and they will usually have a similar structure. If Haskell was used, then you'd find all kinds of custom operators and other more complicated things that make it really hard for beginners to understand. I switched from XMonad to Sway for this reason.
