Phoenix Framework vs Yesod: What are the differences?

Phoenix Framework: Most web frameworks make you choose between speed and a productive environment. Phoenix gives you both. Phoenix is a framework for building HTML5 apps, API backends and distributed systems. Written in Elixir, you get beautiful syntax, productive tooling and a fast runtime; Yesod: A RESTful Haskell web framework built on WAI. Yesod believes in the philosophy of making the compiler your ally, not your enemy. We use the type system to enforce as much as possible, from generating proper links, to avoiding XSS attacks, to dealing with character encoding issues. In general, if your code compiles, it works. And instead of declaring types everywhere you let the compiler figure them out for you with type inference.

Phoenix Framework and Yesod can be primarily classified as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.

"High performance" is the primary reason why developers consider Phoenix Framework over the competitors, whereas "Haskell" was stated as the key factor in picking Yesod.
