There is a large overlap in ideas between Haskell and Clojure.

You will also find that many of the people who are interested in Clojure are also interested in Haskell and vice-versa.

In fact, they share enough that it causes a tension because it is a little "too close for comfort". i.e. the concepts they share are quite strong, and the concepts they differ are stark by virtue of being polar opposites.

No, they aren't they same along every axis, but they share enough axes that the crossover is quite palatable.
