Not sure where the hostility is coming from. I didn’t read anything disparaging about Haskell in hencq’s comment. He/she just made a factual statement about Clojure’s approach to data types being analogous to Unix/strings when it comes to composition.

It comes with the same drawbacks (the lack of static typing is similar to strings with Unix; you have to be aware of the details of the data coming in and out because there is no type system to save you - unlike Haskell), but the benefit is easier composition.
