Haskell & Clean

Hello, I have just read a book about Clean. It seems that Clean is similar to Haskell. So what are the important differences between Clean & Haskell? Thank you, Phan Dung.

I makes very little sense to compare GCC (C++) with GHC (Haskell) inspite of the sneaky names. 1) While no C++ expert, I'd conjecture that compiling C++ is roughly five times harder than C, due to C++ being a much larger language with _many many_ ugly corners. The difficulty in compiling Haskell
