I have found the same to be true whenever I've tried to do anything in Haskell, especially with regards to error handling. I would try to decide on a specific style of handling errors, but the libraries I depended on maybe did it differently. So there ended up being a lot of boilerplate code to wrap other libraries to my own particular style.

A lot of the problems I encountered probably boiled down to inexperience on my part, and perhaps not understanding idiomatic ways of doing things in the language. But another part of it is that I think the community has not settled on a set of common idioms.

There are things about Haskell that I absolutely love. The expressiveness is amazing. Chaining a monadic sequence can feel magical at times. Treating errors as just values is nice. But what do you do when the libraries that you depend on throw exceptions instead of using Either?

And those awful compiler errors can be so, so frustrating. But I will return to you again one day, dear Haskell.
