Alright, jokes aside, let's not get into "measuring dicks" and argue which one is better. I know Clojure, and I know some Haskell. I love both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. To be honest - I always find things in one that I wish existed in another and vice versa.

But your simple dismissal of Clojure (even though seem to be an educated one) has no merits. Don't feel bitter because Clojure is growing in popularity (in relative terms) and Haskell seems stagnated. Haskell is an older language and has had its ups and downs, and I think it will be fine. Clojure as well - no matter how aggressively haskellers would evangelize against it, it will continue to grow steadily. Think of it as a gateway drug into Haskell. I know people who jumped that way, and I know people who went the other way - from Haskell to Clojure.

To me, it is like using headphones - some prefer wired ones, some people enjoy wireless, even though audio quality suffers, wireless gives them a lot of freedom and might be viewed as a "more practical choice." To that though, proponents of wired might say: "what if the battery dies?". It is an endless and quite pointless debate. So let's concur: Haskell is great, and Clojure is fantastic too.
