To read code (or math) I find life easier when I can "read" it inside my head. The terse and heavy symbolic syntax make understanding code less comfortable for me.

The other thing is that currying + lack of parens around function arguments makes it not visually clear where each argument goes or what expressions are part of what. Only someone familiar with each function and it's arity (in some Haskell-relevant sense) could read the stuff at a glance.
