Although somewhat dated (posted on October 24, 2006 4:39 PM, to be precise), here is an interesting comparison of Haskell and Scheme, by Mark C. Chu-Carroll, a PhD computer scientist who works as a software engineer at Google, on his blog, regarding whether someone should translate Douglas Hofstadter's columns introducing Scheme to replace the Scheme code with Haskell code:
He forgot to tell that Haskell is the best imperative language :).
The entry discusses differences in syntax, typing, and semantics, and makes for interesting reading. Surprisingly, he states that Haskell syntax is easier to learn for beginners:
I don't think that's surprising at all. Haskell's syntax is one of the bests I've ever used: clean, simple, and yet powerful. -- Felipe.
