What has Haskell to provide what Common Lisp and Dylan haven't? Static typing (with inference). Very large difference, that.
That's true. This is a big advantage when compiling programmes. But as far as I know type inference is not always decidable in Haskell. Am I right? Dylan does type inference too and Hannes Mehnert is currently working on better type inference for the dylan compiler [1].
