I agree with the poster complaining about the wide variety of symbolic operators: readability becomes extremely important as programs grow large, and Haskell simply doesn't have it.

Lazy evaluation really doesn't pay off in my experience. Any major Haskell program turns out off for performance reasons. And when you don't, performance isn't the only problem: lazy programs often produce really inscrutable errors.
