I feel the same when I have to code in Scala instead of Haskell, because the former has to be used for third-party JARs from enterprise vendors that pretend that there only are JVM and .NET.

After the newstyle Cabal, Sbt feels like a bunch of dynamic nonsense too, especially if there's classpath-based runtime-delayed dependency resolution.

I also find that documentation feels more lacking, simply because I cannot easily find third-party libraries and standard definitions by their signatures in my browser address bar, like I can in Haskell with Hoogle: "!h f a -> f b".
