> Does it make sense to have to learn Haskell and a Haskell framework just to understand Clojure? I have a strong feeling that once you understand either Haskell or Clojure, it will be a breeze to learn other. My point was to get framework for functional programming that deals with a lot of I/O and side-effects and see docs for real-life examples of usage.

  It also isn't statically typed.

  Not everywhere, but most of the sequence functions like map/filter return lazy sequences.

In my personal experience having learned Clojure before diving deeply into Haskell, it helps but there is long path between them still. Hs types are incredible and completely missing in Clj.
