I think the issue that many people have with Haskell is the order of expression evaluation is not structured left-to-right and top-to-bottom. At least it's what makes it difficult to read Haskell for me. Compare it with F# (and OCaml family in general): open System.IO (File.ReadAllText "text.txt").Split() |> Seq.map int |> Seq.iter (printfn "%d") It doesn't really matter on simple expressions but as you keep chaining the operations the reverse order gets more difficult to follow.
