I think "respective reputations" can be quite subjective. In my circles Haskell is definitely more talked about/used.

Sure: In the "hacker" world it seems that people prefer Haskell (Purely functional, native code) to Scala (OO Hybrid, JVM).

However I'd say that Scala is far more popular for building bussiness/real software than Haskell is (Twitter for example).
