Learning Haskell makes you a better programmer?

In my very limited Clojure experience I've seen that it uses a 
LOT of memory even for my small programs, sometimes almost ten 
times more than equivalent Python programs (like 120 MB for a 
small program that processes small genomic text files). And I've 
seen to write fast Clojure programs I have to add a ton of 
annotations to the code. So I have not used it further.
