Union Types in Flow and Reason

The core of haskell is relatively straightforward, believe it or not -- it's just that a lot of what is blogged about is bleedong edge, either language-wise or in concepts they explain.

PureScript is pretty much haskell, it simply compiles to javascript -- wouldn't say there is much skill transferability in terms of language when coming from js, but it might make sense if you develop front-end.

Don't know about the other languages.

There's one huge difference between Haskell and PureScript: strictness. PureScript is strict, whereas Haskell is lazy. So be careful when you write algorithms which rely on laziness.

Thanks! Should have added that I actually haven't really done anything serious in PureScript either.
