Yeah, that is my though since I used Caml Light in the university, quite a while ago.

Specially since adding to what you mentioned, those languages were compiled since the early days.

It all boils down to lack of love from OS vendors.

Even nowadays, F# is still the black swan of .NET languages, with less tooling support that C++ gets.

So I came to appreciate the small additions we get in Java, C#, C++ to get closer to FP kind of programming than expecting a radical change.
