A lot of cool concepts come from languages like OCaml and Haskell. But for better or worse, we live in a world where simple languages rule the day (C++ being one notable exception), and if we get lucky, we get some of cool OCaml/Forth/Haskell/LISP/Erlang features to play with, in our simple little worlds with our simple little toy languages like Java and C# and Go and Javascript... it's sad in a way, but it's reality. I'd much rather write F# (basically .NET-hosted OCaml) than C#, but no luck finding gainful employment with that...
