I completely agree with this sentiment.

Writing good Haskell always seemed harder to me than something like Python. The amount I'd have to think before beginning to type was a lot, but it always seemed worth it, as there was always potential always for a beautiful solution to any problem.

As a result, before I write code in any production language I give a little more thought to what I'm about to write, which I think ends up with a better result.

Heck, even if Haskell just gave a developer an appreciation for basic functional programming, that would be something that will benefit them for years in my view.
