Javascript. I've learned the basics of SML and Ocaml, and a bit more than basics of Haskell, but I just can't bring myself to learn how to use JS effectively.

More generally, I find it hard to learn how to do GUIs and pretty web pages.

Have you tried jQuery? The API:s to interact with the browser really sucks, but the core language isn't too bad IMHO.

If you abstract away the browser differences in event handling and DOM, it's pretty straight forward to build GUI:s.
