Is Haskell one of the worst languages ever made?

No, really. Not only is it hard to learn, but it has no real value in production environments because of its speed
Only time I ever hear of it, is when some jerkwad writes very abstract unreadable code to solve a non-problem in one line of code

I blame the GC.

it's type theory masturbation

It's being coerced into production environments because the fruits of its research were never applied in a serious language.

That's exactly where haskal excels.

APL and Brainfuck do a better job.

you need to stretch the definition of 'line' in case of Brainfuck though

still on one line

That's basically the entirety of computer science.
