Speaking as someone who knows Haskell fairly well (and likes it), and has used Verilog at least a bit, I agree - it looks like they took all the worst parts of Verilog (especially the procedural parts), translated them into Haskell, and abandoned the occasional redeeming qualities.

(I suspect it's possible to shoehorn a decent (though not great) HDL into a Haskell DSL, but I've yet to see it actually done.)
