I really appreciate both Clojure and Haskell. I agree that

> nearly all of the claims made about Clojure here can be made about haskell

, but I'm not sure about `more strongly´.

## DX with Haskell (and ML friends) I miss in Clojure:

- Harder to do sound, up-front design with data types and module interface, where implementation becomes almost trivial after when the type signatures make sense

- Consistency checks from compiler / type checker

## DX with Clojure I miss in Elm/Haskell:

- REPL ergonomics, where every action I could think of makes sense as a REPL command, leading to very small incremental pieces.

- Excellent default data structures with literal representation and serialization (EDN)

I'd love to read a point-by-point discussion of the article sections comparing Haskell and Clojure, though that's much to ask for in the comments field.
