They are pretty different. They have similar syntax, and their type systems are similarly strong, but beyond that they are pretty different.

Haskell has a huge syntax and a ton of language features. It has a big ecosystem. Haskell is very mathy. Elm is the opposite in each of those regards.

Unfortunately there is a large gap between the developer experience of both ecosystems.
