As far as I know, one of the draws of Haskell is the inherent

It's also simultaneously one of the biggest things that puts people off.
Perhaps as we can curb this with sufficient documentation, as others
have suggested.
But there's a deeper problem here, one that can't be resolved inside
the Haskell community. The problem is that the "Math?! Scary! Gross!"

in the computer subculture.
No arguments here!
However, that at least *is* completely beyond our power to alter.
Unfortunately.
