The only think I take issue with is

Haskell's syntax also isn't really that complicated, there really are only a few primitives. It's more complicated than any lisp, but it's probably simpler than python. The problem is more that libraries define functions like $, <$>, ., (there are some really gnarly examples from the profunctor optics library: <%@~, <<%~ for example), which look scary but they aren't syntax just function names.
