I had a bit of a look at D and I was majorly underwhelmed. This
is a direct descendant of C, C++ and Java. It extends this lineage
a little, but completely ignores ideas from languages such as Perl,
Python, Ruby and the whole constellation of functional languges.

Has anyone else looked at O'Caml? :
I've been coding in it for about 6 weeks and I'm REALLY enjoying
it. Its the most fun I've had coding in ages.
If anyone has the FFTW sources on their machines, they already
have some O'Caml source :-). The FFTW authors wrote a program
in O'Caml to generate the C code for the codelets.
