To clarify, I am not critical of the language Haskell itself. I think it is great. It is mostly a criticism of the tutorials and general culture around the language.

For example Rust is another language which have a reputation for being hard to learn, due to novel and complex concepts like the borrow checker. But in my experience you see none of this "talking down" to the audience. They just explain how the stuff works with practical examples.
