I tend to agree -- I feel like the C-family concepts are the default, and when you go outside of that range, you specify. e.g. "I think function application is super easy, you just do f(x,y,z)!" vs. "I think Haskell style function application is super easy, you just do f x y z!" But I also suspect Haskell is just getting more attention these days -- it's quite trendy for sure.
