The difference is perhaps more in the community than in the language. But Haskell clearly shows its academic origins, whereas Clojure clearly shows the pragmatic attitude of its creator. I can appreciate both, being in the academic world but not in computer science - programming for me is mostly pragmatic rather than a research goal in itself.
