> I feel like part of the problem is Haskell's extremism towards purity and immutability

You missed "lazy evaluation by default" in that list ;) Those properties are kind of the definition of Haskell, so without all of them you'd have another language.

Like the sibling commenter mentions, this seems more of a "I'm unfamiliar with this" thing rather than a problem with Haskell...
