Some day you may thank for this verbosity, because it encourages you do program in a purely functional way making your program more friendly for SMP execution.
i already sayed about lacking of OOP features.
Besides Haskell I also write in C++, and there I haven't yet found a good use for deep subtyping hierarchies. Most of my class hierarchies consist of a single abstract root and a group of concrete children. These kind of OO is easily expressible even in Haskell 98.
another weakness against Erlang and scripting languages is their more dynamic character which sometimes is more appropriate,
Then use those scripting languages! I don't want Haskell's semantics to be "whatever is appropriate in this context". Best regards Tomasz -- I am searching for a programmer who is good at least in some of [Haskell, ML, C++, Linux, FreeBSD, math] for work in Warsaw, Poland
