In general, I don't give a fig how the language was designed, I just
care about what the end result is like.
(In a similar way, I don't care who wrote a song, I just care what it
sounds like.)

Uh... that's slightly amusing, if you think about it.
Haskell was created explicitly because there were already a half-dozen
identical languages with different syntax, and this was diluting efforts
to use them. So Haskell was created as one standard language to replace
all the others. Which is a pretty practical reason, actually...
