I think you're right that the level of abstraction is the same but the language ergonomics are drastically different. Go was designed so that anyone coming out of school could read/understand/write it very quickly. I'm not a Go expert and I can reason about code pretty well and even write some stuff.

That's absolutely NOT true of Haskell. It's a much more nuanced language and while I'm sure it's great once you learn it, the learning curve is steep. Because of that I think it's much easier to hire Go developers than Haskell developers too
