He does seem to have a mental block on Haskell being too "mathematical or abstract" which is something I see a lot of in imperative programmers and am not sure I fully understand.

Which I think is perfectly in line with the rigid Haskell type system and philosophy of "making the compiler do 90% of the work". The constructs that Haskell provides are very down to earth ways of composing programs that ensure that side-effects aren't implicit and lead to more correct composition semantics.
