When you consider that every other programming language in common use (and almost every language not in common use as well) allows you to write:
print person.name
while Haskell requires something like:
print (person & name) or
print $ person.^name
and even that after importing a third-party library or defining it yourself, you begin to understand why beginners think that Haskell looks more like Japanese emoticons than programming.
