Is there any point to Haskell except stroking your ego by pretending you're doing math?

It has an acceptable type system (unlike most languages), which means that you will probably end up with less bugs at the end.

I have spent like 8 months learning it and haven't done anything useful with it at all

Not true, it is not more difficult than say python. It even has a lot of libraries.

not masturbatory dreaming about types

Haskell does not focus on types. Which is also why it has type inference and :: instead of :.
