Haskell syntax is really nowhere near as complex as C++'s or even Rust's. It's not indecipherable, it's just different and not C-like. It's in the same family as SML, OCaml and F# so if you learn one of those, the others come easily.

I suspect Haskell's syntax isn't as much of an issue as the typical style that Haskell code tends to be written in; really short, abbreviated variable names, and very high code density.

Indeed, this isn't meant as a knock against Haskell in particular, merely an observation on unfamiliarity. :)
