Suprised that the year ended with one language and not another, particularly given his background. This could be indicative of a "good enough" FP trend where the net affect of language authors cherry picking FP constructs does not, ironically enough, result in significantly increased adoption rates for those FP languages that are at the forefront of FP R&D. Case in point: the recently announced Swift appears to have a decent grab bag of FP candy that will immediately appeal to legions of iThing app developers. In short, it may be that Haskell, and particularly Scala (fending off Java 8, Kotlin, Groovy, and Clojure) will be fighting for scraps until one of them comes up with a killer stack that launches them out of niche status into the mainstream. Could be awhile yet...
