>Compared to Clojure
Rich borrowed almost all of Clojure’s standard library from Haskell.
Destructuring in Clojure also looks like it came directly from Haskell.

Don't know if Rich first got the idea from Lisp or not, but it seems likely since he did a bunch of development in Common Lisp (generating C++, of all things :-D ) ages ago.
I don't remember if I heard him talk about that in the "Expert to Expert" video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wASCH_gPnDw ), or in "Simple Made Easy" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34_L7t7fD_U ). I think it was the former, but both of those are worth watching multiple times. It's also entirely possible that it was in an entirely different video of his -- but it was him.
I've yet to be disappointed in any of his talks, so if I'm wrong about the exact one, just keep watching any of his talks on YouTube till you find it. xD
