Similar experience here. I didn't do CS in college but used MMA a fair bit. Then ended up programming for a living in mainstream 90s languages. So when FP started to make a comeback recently it just hit me that "Hey this is just like Mathematica". But even then the Mathematica environment was better in ways than what you get with some FP languages now. I don't get all the retro fetish. I know my vi but I've no wish to use it over a good IDE. Hopefully Light table can do it for a functional language.
