I think John Carmack prefers Haskell. I can't seem to find that twitter comment he made about static typing.

Between Lisp and Haskell, Lisp is more usable and has more applications in real-world applications, so it could be said to be more functional (that is, it has more function/use)

Basically this. Haskell works in theory. In practice it's basically vaporware. Lisp is something you could write software in with (I expect) only a month or two of careful preparation.

I was once told by a Haskell programmer that the advantage of Haskell is that it's not used in the industry, so that no one has to maintain terribly written code, after I mentioned that the disadvantage of Haskell was that all the programmers write code that is not readable for future maintainers.

Fortunately, in spite of all the parentheses, Lisp is fairly readable.

implying Lisp isn't the same exact thing.
