And as a Rust and Python programmer, I find C++ hard to read (I can never shake the feeling that the ampersands are always in the wrong place), and I'm nearly hopeless at deciphering Haskell. :P I suppose this is just something that comes with experience.
Haskell syntax is really nowhere near as complex as C++'s or even Rust's. It's not indecipherable, it's just different and not C-like. It's in the same family as SML, OCaml and F# so if you learn one of those, the others come easily.
I suspect Haskell's syntax isn't as much of an issue as the typical style that Haskell code tends to be written in; really short, abbreviated variable names, and very high code density.
