After many years of struggling with Haskell, I've all but given up on it, because of the broken record semantics.

After many years of struggling with Haskell, I've all but given up on it, because of the broken record semantics. They seem to be able to find time to implement monad comprehensions or whatever paper fodder is most in vogue, but you still can't have two datatypes with the same field name in the same module. It's not a serious language.
