Curious if your coworkers have looked Eta, a Haskell on the JVM?
Also curious how your Haskellers and Clojurers are peaceably coexisting? (I ask this lightly but still curious :)

I was unaware of this and have been playing with Elm and Haskell in my spare time! Neat to know that there's a Haskell like language on the JVM! Will have to check it out :)

I've talked to them a little bit about Eta and it sounds like there are some concerns about the stability/maturity of the JVM FFI interface, among other things.
Similarly, when connecting to a database like Oracle, it's trivial to just use JDBC/etc. while, for example, my coworkers who are using Haskell generally have to write a Java gateway because there aren't well-tested clients for Haskell.
