>'<>', '>>=', '=<<', '>>>' off the top of my head.

None of those have anything to do with the type system though. That's why I called your statement nonsense. They are just ordinary operators like + and -. The habit of claiming everything you dislike about haskell is somehow related to the type system is quite common and rather bizarre.

>The reasons this stuff makes code hard to read (for me) are

The reason is because you haven't learned haskell. If you had never learned arithmetic then 5 + 3 * 7 would make no sense too. That doesn't mean math is hard to understand, it just means you need to take the time to learn it.

>They're all infix and I don't know the precedence.

Use :info in ghci, or look it up on hoogle. Just like you would with a function you aren't familiar with.

    :info (<*>)
    infixl 4 <*>

Left associative, precedence 4. Addition is 6, multiplication is 7.

>It's not restricted to standard-library code.

Lots of languages let you write new operators. If a library creates tons of operators that reflects on the library, not the language.
