Haskell is academic. Elixir is practical.
@chickenjoe being a huge fan of #Elixir, once I cooked a thing in it really fast indeed, but then requirements changed and it was Pain. In my experience, without sum types and pattern matching, it always is (7 years with PHP, 8 years with Ruby, 15 years of JavaScript, 1 year of Erlang)
With #Haskell, you change the thing that needs to be changed, fix compilation errors and it works off the bat way more often than you could expect coming from mainstream
