I have in most years learned some nicher languages: Elm, Rescript, Racket, Common Lisp.
But nothing is even remotely bad as Haskell is.
Even just setting up an IDE to have basics like syntax highlight or go to definition is a giant chore.
On the official Haskell devcontainer offered by GitHub is nearly impossible to add any external dependency, so having a one-click shareable Haskell environment in the cloud (the very basic to onboard people on the language without wasting them days into having their own inconsistent environment) is a must.
Another thing that I feel sucks is the default documentation for Haskell libraries. Doesn't say anything useful at all, bundles few definitions here and there, 0 examples, and more often than not there's 0 documentation.
