Yes, it is very refreshing: it is a complex language, but the community has not become elitist, and is instead polite, considerate and mature.

Haskell devs need to be polite and considerate, otherwise GHC slaps them during the next 'cabal build' run with some hairy type errors. You really don't want that to happen twice.

(Just kidding, I love GHC and its precise & helpful error messages. No sarcasm implied.)
