The Haskell code snippet is from a parody of Wikipedia, and is purposefully obfuscated code. Imagine someone holding up a piece of code written in C from an IOCCC entry, as an example of how C is a language to be avoided. Additionally, bringing it up is a total non sequitur, because Haskell doesn't have much to do with the problems the article discusses, and neither does APL. I think it does ruin the author's credibility. They didn't do the most basic research before including that code snippet, and are just holding it up as a distracting side show. The rest of the screed might have some value, but I'm pretty skeptical of that after reading the last paragraphs.
