The Haskell is nibbling around the > edges but not providing industrial-strength libraries, I'm not so sure, there seems to be a lot here: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/index.html I've been wanting to look at Haskell a bit more as a serious development language. There are a couple of problems, but it actually looks pretty good. I don't expect it to provide me the same kind of execution speeds (or compile speeds...ghc is really slow), but it does seem to have a more open development environment. I still think I'd rather use OCaml, though. > etc. Fortunately OCAML seems to have a big base and a > lot of people working on various projects.
