Haskell was the hardest, but it looked the most beautiful.

That pretty much sums that language up

In order to write a haskell program, you must first write the corresponding haskell program.

It's also beautiful because it doesn't have C-like syntax.

Functional programming flips your brain around backwards, but shader programming will turn it inside-out.

For more brain flipping try looking into hardware description languages (Verilog) or proof assistants (Coq).
