Yes. If you want to infer criticism of Haskell from that, go ahead, but none was
intended. You can write awkward code in any language.
monads in Haskell that
Haskell programmers wouldn't write does not change that point.
Sure, that part of the discussion grew out of the claim that there are "no
loops" there.
Bending a language over backwards to be pedantic is pointless for this
discussion. Nobody claims "Obfuscated C Contest" entries are best (or even
suggested) practices.
