I didn't like Haskell's syntax and it's too pure. Everyone knows that to get anything done, you need imperative-ness somewhere, that's where monads come from, but it's ridiculous. I like OCaml better as a statically typed functional programming language that takes the ideas of functional programming but leaves some imperative programming for when you need it.
