I'm not trying to be oppositional or take anything away from what you said about OCaml, but I'm interested in the evolution of programming languages and watching how the best ideas are borrowed or stolen and incorporated into new languages, sometimes with additions that improve upon the original. That's why I always check out new languages that are posted on HN. I like to see if the author has a new idea and then which language picks up on it. It's interesting to ponder such things as what will be the C++ response to Rust?

Any favorites you've picked out from some of the new or lesser known languages?

  While not a lesser know language, the evolution of await/async from Haskell to C# to Dart by Meijer is a good example that comes to mind. I'm a working programmer without a college degree, so I can't vouch that I have the correct interpretation of the computer science.

The only consistent resource I know about this is wikipedia's "influenced [by]" section and the references in there.
