"More elegant than Java" is a bit like saying "cooler than the surface 
of the Sun". :-P

So what do you think Haskell solves inelegantly?

It's no secret that the libraries lack vast swathes of important 
functionality, or that some of the build tools leave a lot to be 
desired. But the core language itself? It isn't perfect, but it's a 
damn-site more elegant than any other programming language I've ever 
laid eyes on.
