Comparing Haskell and Erlang syntax isn't even fair. Haskell threw homoiconicity and homogeneity way out the window in exchange for some very nice, mathematical notation.

Erlang is hardly homoiconic, unless you mean Lisp-Flavoured Erlang.

No, it's not. I wasn't being precise. I believe Erlang to have a less complex syntax than Haskell, though, being based on Prolog.
