The comments I've just read of his, are at least, all heavily referenced.

After spending nearly a decade thinking about haskell, everything here rings very true.

It's a language whose sales pitch begins by assuming you are using the language: here are all these solutions to problems you now have.

Laziness is the wrong default; it's a catastrophe for writing programs. It requires the whole category-theoretic infrastructure of haskell to solve, and then, imparts insurmountable complexity on writing anything real world.
