Don't doubt the power of 2. Java is so friggin' entrenched that having a pretty nice half-type-inferencing functional language that's at least a little competent is a breath of fresh air. Sure I'd rather be using Haskell, but the available integration tools between Haskell and Java are not widely used and a bit immature or otherwise nasty. Maybe, one day, when the JVM finally keels over and dies and we're freed from the yoke of bad enterprise decisions, we'll all be able to use functional languages that were designed largely without compromise.
