I'd try to start learning both. Spend a few days learning lisp, do as much of it as you can. Then, spend a few days learning Haskell.
After you start picking up on their essence, I'm sure one of them will feel like home more so than the other and you'll understand their individual raisons d'etre.
- queensnake 18y agoCan you learn enough to know a meaningful difference in a few days, though? Also, it seems to me that Haskell is harder to learn /incrementally/; ie, you have to learn much more before you can write anything useful. I got ~halfway through the 'monk' book without feeling I could write anything useful; but maybe that's just me.
