The most distinguishing factor of Haskell is not it's functional programming features, but rather it's very flexible and powerful type system. You won't see that pulled in by the mentioned languages any time soon.

  Functional-ness is completely orthogonal to the type system. Clojure is probably the second most-functional prominent language after Haskell. Immutability is very strongly encouraged, with mutation used only in controlled ways.
