Looks like the Haskell syntax is not good enough, because there is Template
Haskell and doesn't look like it is invented by people who don't know how
to write it with higher order functions, because there are functions in the
Haskell List package like this:
 
  -- | The 'zip4' function takes four lists and returns a list of
  -- quadruples, analogous to 'zip'.
  zip4                  :: [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d] -> [(a,b,c,d)]
  zip4                  =  zipWith4 (,,,)

Scheme

(map list '[2 3 4] '[20 30 40] '[200 300 400] '[2000 3000 4000])
  ===>
((2 20 200 2000) (3 30 300 3000) (4 40 400 4000))
