First rule of maintanence: readable code. I should be able to read code after short introduction. I remember it took me 1h (after Sussman lecture video) to read Lisp. It is several weeks now since I'm reading Haskell tutorials and docs and still have problems to understand code advertised as "what real world Haskell looks like".
It is the only language I know of which makes trivial problems hard and hard problems impossible.
Because of its syntax you have to write 10x as much documentation, as experiment shows and I can confirm this from my own experience. Haskell is full of BS.
