What are the "numerous other systems" that you had in mind? Links would be greatly appreciated!

  Some alternatives are linked in the article. Other systems include FrTime / Flapjax (glitch-free push based systems in Racket and JS respectively), and the work on FRP.

    Well, yes, but those don't seem objectively superior. They all have problems to do with it being too easy to accidentally introduce space leaks or time leaks... (At least as far as I recall. If there's some documentation/papers that suggest otherwise, please link!) EDIT: I should say: FRPNow! seems to have cracked a bit of this puzzle and Neel Krishnaswami had a recent-ish (2014?) paper on avoiding both space and time leaks with static checking, but I don't think we have anything approaching the mainstream, unfortunately.

      Only the Haskell systems have space leaks. The others don't.

        Links of PDFs/whatever, plz! (I'm not being faceitious.)
