Deeper philosophical differences:

* Lisp is multi-paradigm languages. Haskell is pure functional language.

* Haskell wants to be mathematics. Lisp wants to be an operating system.

I believe the composition vs. monolithism difference comes from these deeper differences.



> Lisp wants to be an operating system.

Lisp wants to be interactively used.
