Probably a silly question, but for me one of the nice things about Haskell is that it's a lot like just writing math(s). But in contrast to math you lose a lot of notational flexibility being limited to the ascii character set in your source code.
If you use emacs, there's some code that will display arbitrary words/symbols as Greek letters or math symbols: http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PrettyLambda It's cute. It won't replace the actual text, just what's displayed, so if you need to share your code with someone else, they'll still be able to use it.
