You can write Haskell in the Racket environment[0].
Racket has a lot of well-designed and well-documented libraries that are a joy to work with. In his Racket manifesto Mathias Felleisen (author of The Little Schemer) describes how Racket is supposed to be useful for programmers at any level.
I'm currently working on a web app using the Datalog[1] back end. I guess that's very similar to Clojure's Datomic or core.logic, and I'm not sure which is "best", but Racket is certainly good.
