Nix doesn't use Haskell. Nix uses its own language (the Nix expression language): https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix_Expression_Language

I can't figure out from Wikipedia if NixOS is a systemd user or, like Guix, has a custom services facility.

NixOS uses systemd, although wrapped in their own DSL, example:

It currently uses systemd quite heavily. There at least was some conversation about making it more service manager agnostic so that others could be used, but I'm not aware of that having gotten anywhere. I haven't checked in a while though.
