No way tooling is decades behind. You have a decent LSP, debugger, package manager and REPL.

Laziness is hard to observe, maybe Strict and StrictData would become more popular in use within this context.

I haven't checked in a while now if effects have become the norm in the ecosystem, or if some solution exists for "string" types, but for me all of Haskell's expressivity is lost in the noise of endless conversion function, wrapper types when stacking monads, and import fiddling.

The package manager/build system is anything but decent. Any Haskell project will involve at least 24 hours worth of manual dependency conflict resolution.
